Vista, ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center

Anchundan · 9 Oct 2006 at 08:58

Hi

Apparently ActiveSync doesn't work with Vista. I'm running Vista RC2, and need to sync my PDA (running Windows Mobile 2003).

I've been searching the internet for hours, and apparently ActiveSync has been replaced by "Windows Mobile Device Center". The last post about this I saw was on 30th September, saying that this would be released within a week.

Does anybody have any information on this?

Cheers!

although i've not actually tried, sync center is built into vista? have you tried just plugging your device in?

edit: without office installed i'm just getting the option to sync music or pull off all the photo's from my XDA Mini S.

Not got office to hand atm, but I imagine that will work with outlook when it's all set up.

Edit- here you go

x86 or amd64 for the x64 version.

Any chance you could have a look at my thread, I'm confused.
