Confirmation: MS-Office-2010-ProPlus is compatible with WinXP-TabletEdition-SP3 and ActiveSync 4.5
Fresh install of my XP-OS solved my issue:
Looks like sync-issue was most likely a file association issue within XP (#1 post). After numerous fresh reinstalls of MSO-2010 & ActiveSync 4.5 (thanks horndoctor for the tickler related to registry cleaning post-uninstall), and after much deep searching (registry, any/all misc related Office/Outlook), I just kept finding various remnant files related to previous installation of MSO (8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 14.0), if I did not know better I'd say I had the "Office 13.0 Bug"
HaHaHaaa ... HaHaHaaa ...
What I think is real interesting; is the question of how did files related to MSO versions older than MSO-2003 (Office 11.0) get onto my computer, considering I did a yearly HDD reformat in Jan, 2010 and began startup of fresh OS with MSO-2003. It would be my guess that while running MSO-2003 there were missing components from earlier versions that I had needed to be installed creating the older MSO referenced files. Kinda like the issue with MSO-2010 missing MODI functionality, resulting in users having to install an feature from older version of MSO - in this case MODI from MSO-2007, which then creates Office 12.0 (MOS-2007) files on a system running Office 14.0 (MSO-2010) and also brings along various older MSO updates, etc. I need MODI on my Tablet PC for editing and annotating of various types of documents (.pdf to .tif, etc. etc.) for pen based work in documents that do not have user entry points. Read about solution how to run MODI in Office 14.0 here:
Alternative methods to regain the functionalities of Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI)
I ran Office 2003 / 2007 side by side for some time (hated 2007) before committing into MSO-2010,, which is when ActiveSync 4.5 stopped recognizing that I had a fully functional version of Outlook installed.
I will close with a few issues that I knew about at the beginning of my troubleshooting (but, in the end were unrelated to my issue), that may help others with similar manifestations of non-sync (where ActiveSync does not recognize if you have Outlook installed (ASLog File trouble shooter reference Outlook Not Found of Not Installed, etc.) as follows. Installed version of Outlook can not be (for use with ActiveSync):
MSO-2010 version can not be Trial Version
MSO-2010 version can not be MS Office Live Version (online version)
MSO-2010 64-bit not compatible with ActiveSync
WinMo 6.5 required to run MSO-Mobile 2010
WinXP versions use ActiveSync
Vista/Win7 OS versions use WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center)
32 and 64 bit versions of Outlook/Office will not coexist
Any one of the listed things above can/may create the “Outlook is not installed” error message. Hopefully, others can benefit from this knowledge. Look to solve your problems rather than trudging into the future with them …
