i just purchased a tmobile dash/excalibur. im trying to install the cd for the active sync but i keep getting an error that the cd needs to have the adobe falsh player installed. i have uninstalled and installed a few times but no luck. is there another way aroung this?
I have never seen that error, but you may want to download the newest activesync while your at it. The current is 4.5 I believe. Also, you have tried to restart after install, right?
Yes just download from MS or explore the cd and install as it's only when auto run the cd you get that error.
when i explore the folders and install from there it nows says activesync cannot be installed on windows vista.
Go download Windows Mobile Device Center, it's Vista's version of Active Sync...
thanks guys it worked.

i'm using vista right now...so active sync 4.5 can be installed to vista....yes i know so i tried to download wmdc using proxy.org since www.microsoft.com won't load....i followed all the steps,choosing english 32-bit to download and i was stopped when it asked me to give validation code...where to find validation code???when i hit continue i was asked to either run it or open it....but in my pc it says that i must either find it or save it....so i saved it and ended up couldn't open to get the validation code....any solution???cos a pda that can't sync with pc is more than a joke rite???desperate
You mean the windows genuine validation? You have to download and run a seperate app first to pass genuine check and then it will let you download the program for vista. I just did it yesterday on my buddys laptop with vista. If that is not what you mean, then I dunnno what you are reffering to...
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but a forum search revealed nothing...
How do I install .NET 3.5 on my Touch HD?
I have installed Advanced Congif , and it tells me i need to install .NET in order for it to work.
I downloaded the .net redistributable file from the MS website (filename is NETCFSetupv35.msi), but when I try to run it on my HD as I would with a .cab file, it tells me there's no associated program to run it.
I guess it has to be installed some other way (through ActiveSync maybe?), but I don't know.
Any helpful soul out there care to put me out of my misery?
Cheers in advance
Pete
Yes it has to be done through Activesync.
run it on your pc, and it will install on your device (or next time you connect if you're not connected when you run it)
It says on the microsoft download page...:
This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 to update the device. Before running NETCFSetupv35.msi, connect your device to your PC. If your device is not connected, ActiveSync will store the CAB file and will not install the package until you connect. If you are not using ActiveSync, run the CAB files on the device that correspond to the device–specific CAB files found in the install folder.
and
Instructions
Click the Download button on this page to start the download, or choose a different language from the drop-down list and click Change.
Do one of the following:
To start the installation immediately, click Open or Run this program from its current location.
To copy the download to your computer for installation at a later time, click Save or Save this program to disk.

Use a CAB

I did not use ActiveSync to install it. I can't remember where I found it, but it has some kind of "Microsofts digital signature", so I think it's the right one...

Thanks!
Thanks guys,
sorted, using the .cab (couldn't work out how to do it with Activesync).
Can't install :-(
Nooo! I have a problem...
I had some trouble with .NET CF 3.5, and then I wanted to reinstall it, but when I uninstalled it, and then tried to install it again, it didn't work.
It doesn't work through ActiveSync AND the cab. Do anyone know whats wrong here, or do I need to start a new thread?
Is your ActiveSyns up to date? And did you download the file from the mircosoftsite? I reïnstalled the file yesterday..

My ActiveSync is okay, and the cab is from the microsoft site...
EDIT:I think something is wrong with my phone, but I don't want to do a Hard reset.
Installed no problem if you use your PC to get the CAB just pop in onto the memory card, bung it in your phone and using file explorer locate file and install onto your device. Easeeee
Even easier would be to use PIE and visit this site/thread and follow the link to download directly onto phone then do above in File Explorer

.NET 3.5 cab
bro,
.NET 3.5 is available as cab for direct installation on to your phone. Copy in to your phone / storage card and install in phone memory. I have installed on my HD stock rom and works fine. Here it is .... hope this will help, this is my first response to a mail and hope what i do is right. thanks Dr Shaheed
Hello all,
For some reason,activesync 4.5 is refusing to install applications: when I run an application installer on my PC, it comes up with :
"Error in Windows CE setup files: Application manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an error in the set-up file. reinstall and try again".
If I copy a cab file on the Htc touch HD and run it from there, everything works fine.
It seems that something has been corrupted in Activesync software.
So I tried to reinstall several times without the firewall and antivirus, after deleting all the temps files (%temp%) and deleting partnership documents files, also after deleting system32/RAPI.dll but the "Error in Windows CE setup files" still appears.
Does anybody knows about this specific problem? And how to fix it ?
Looking in forums for a week I didn't find that kind off troubble solved.
I have Activesync 4.5 on windows XP pack3 (before, activesync 4.2 worked very well with an XDA II- Qtek2020)
Thank you very much !
Yeah yeah.
MY Dash wont seem to connect properly to my PC Via the required activesync 4.5...
IDK if this is in the ROM, My computer or AS4.5
but when i plug in my phone it MIGHT connect, might not or come up with a malfunction error.
Last time it said Activesync has encountered an error and needs to close or something like that...
But if i reinstall active sync it will work just fine the first time or two
what OS are your running and which active sync? might have a issue between them if you got the wrong one.

Windows XP Home (2001)
SP2 with .net 3.5 installed
Active sync is the one for x86 XP & Vista
not sure i have had similar issues with win 7, but i also noticed there was a update for the driver that seems to have fixed it. maybe check via windows update and see (do it while phone is pluged in) if there is a update for the driver to connect it.
i'm not sure what the issue is but it seems that every rom i flash to aside from the factory rom as soon as i flash outside of it, activesync and wmdc fails to establish any form of a connection whatsoever and i have tried the wm 6.1 by kavana and the 3vo 6.5 rom and after i installing the other roms neither acticsync or wmdc won't connect but reflashing to the factory rom it works i dunno what the deal is, but i do know that after using the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS it refuses to conntect even if you don't flash after using this so i attribute the connection failure to the bypass fix
i finally figured out what was keeping my active sync from properly connecting and this might help you out,
active sync needs to have port 900 open to connect, if you open it in the win xp firewall add exceptions for port 900 via tcp and udp even if it's already listed do it, and if you have a secondary program such as mcafee or norton you will need to do the same in that program as well, once the ports have been opened you'll need to reboot, but it should work
The new version of HTC sync (ver 2.0.33) installs but won't run with a message about the application launcher not being properly configured. Several re-installs also fail as does a reversion to 2.0.28 which was working before. Any clues?
(Windows XP servicepack 3 by the way)
Works OK here on Windows 7 64bit.

+1 as above
install previous and then use the update utility in the 28 to update to 33. Only update to 33 if you have issues with 28, dont update for the sake of updating.
HTC.com says
* If you have installed older version HTC Sync on your PC or NB, please uninstall the older version first.

Thanks for the help, people but the problem is I can't install either ...28 or ...33 since I followed HTC's own instructions to uninstall the former before adding the latter - so no way to use either. (And yes I did turn off firewall and anti-virus before the upgrade)
Win7 64 here, no prob installing but NO SYNC at all.
With Outlook opened: error because Outlook does not repsond.
With Outlook closed: runs, but it says 0 contacts sync'ed
For me on Win7 x64 Ultimate work both versions ok.
would you guys (you who got the syncworking) tell me if you do so with Outlook open or closed and if you have subfolders in contacts?
thank you
i had my outlook open, it doesnt really matter if its open or closed it will still sync. When you install the htc sync it installs the drivers, when you connect your phone your pc should find the device. Is your PC finding hte device? the next step is to sync your pc with your phone.
Did you clear the settings or are you still using your old ones? you might have to clear the settings of sync and then try again (start from beginning after your pc has installed drivers).
Your phone also needs to be in sync mode not charge mode
Thanks A|ex,
of course the phone is in sync mode, and yes all the drivers are installed.
Phone finds HTC Sync, starts the sync... then if Outlook is opened it returns me an error (impossibile to contact Outlook, or something similar), if Outlook is closed it ends up with no errors, but with the log saying "0 contacts sync'ed"...
having major problems with desire>pc.
not just htc sync, but the device in not even showing in device manager.
(win 7 32bit)
any ideas?
i have tried older htc syncs, drivers etc but i cannot even get the device to show
i would like access to sd card for music photos etc

the first version .28 i installed i had to have out look closed or i sync would fail, to get HTC sync to alow me to select out look on install again outlook had to be closed.
i have upgraded to .33 and now i can use sync with outlook open or closed and it syncs fine.
i uninstalled ver .28 before installing ver .33 also i had outlook closed when installing htc sync this time and the viruscheck disabled.
maybe the fact outlook was open first time round caused my problems.
