So what's up with this "WMDC fixes for Win10" MSI? File management is under File Management > Browse the contents of your device, and will open Explorer (you have to go through the menu). In particular, the "Add/Remove Programs" option is in Programs and Services > More. "Connect without setting up your device" will allow you to copy files back and forth with Explorer and install programs.

You probably don't need to "set up your device" given that it'll want to be connected to Exchange with ActiveSync and that's not so much a thing these days (and you probably don't want to use it as a phone, even though you kind of could). If, connecting your device via USB (I have no idea if the Bluetooth or IR options can still be made to work), it still does not show "connected" in WMDC, delete the "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter", remove the scan gun from the cradle, and put it back in the cradle. Before it works properly for the first time, it will ask you to accept a license. If it doesn't load, close its processes in task manager and start it again. It will either sit there for a long time and quit, fail and ask to be reinstalled, or load. Reboot your computer, and then launch Windows Mobile Device Center from the start menu. Next, install the hotfix that makes it work in more recent versions of Windows ( ) Īll of these links are in the Wayback Machine too, in case they stop.īasically, download and install the final released version of WMDC ( ). Juniper Systems, who make a replacement line of devices, continue to host the software and published a fix for it.
