Windows 7 - Hates WMDC - Page 2

I have windows 7 x64 and this is what I had to do. Download the wmdc for x64. With the phone unplugged from the computer install it. It will says searching for drivers. One of them will give an error saying device not connected. At that point it would appear that is is no longer doing anything. At this time time connect your phone. Then it will finish and bring up the wmdc and let you set up the sync. As far as flashing, I was able to flash my mogul with with windows 7 using the ppc kitchen.

Flashing under Windows 7 32-bit and 67-bit with no problem. Windows 7 RC1 auto install all the neccessary drivers even in bootloader mode.

Listing your Win7 build number may help. Win7 downloaded and installed WMDC acutomatically for me while using a fresh install of the Release candidate. The beta build however did not.

Flashing should be no problem for Win7 as well. Ive done it with both 32bit and 64bit clients.

I sync and flash just fine with the RC1 build. I look forward to getting Device Stage working for WM devices. It is a great feature and works great wit supported devices.

Wtf...how is this working for all of you so easily. Windows 7 can't pick up my Touch Pro. It keeps thinking its a goddamn storage device and I'm not given the option to activesync. Any help would be appreciated, the people on the Windows 7 board seem stumped as well. This is really frustrating.

Start the install without your phone connected to the usb. You see the install get to a point where it looks like it either quit or is no longer doing anything. At this point connect your phone and it will finish the installation. After doing this I can now sync and flash my phone.

No issues with any of the forementioned problems. I'm running the RC.
