Im new to the Windows Mobile world. Has anyone successfully installed the Windows Mobile 6.5 software CD on a Windows 7 machine? I just received the Tilt 2, and it keeps failing. I have tried compatibility mode (Vista) and it still fails. If fails when trying to install drivers.
Disregard, I got it to install. Now I am working on trying to get it connected. lol
Are you installing Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

Is there any way of getting SPVServices to work in Windows Vista 32bit, ive done the Vista RUU update with the USB drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center.
When i try and run spvservices i just get an error saying it failed to create an empty document.
Is there any other way of making my phone SuperCID?
Hello,
I know there is a procedure for updating the phone on Windows Vista, but I'm asking myself if someone tried to do an update from a Windows XP virtual machine (as those machines can access to the USB)?
In a nutshell :
Windows Vista real computer
--> Running VMWare Workstation 6
----> Running Windows XP Pro
------> Updating the ROM of the phone
Thanks !

Well, I do this with XP running virtually in Mac OSX through a similar program called Paralells - works like a champ. NOt exactly what you are asking, but close.
I use VMWare 6 in my Vista PC for flash using XP OS before WDCM was launched... and works great...
Now i continue using to flash my Wizard in XP Box trough Virtual Machine cause upgrade tool for Wizard is not compatible with Vista...
So you can use to flash what you want, sure.
Regards.
Thanks for your experiments This will be a super trick for updating my hermes without having to worry about windows vista drivers things!
Thanks!
works like a charm ive been using it since january and i always updaye my roms in it and parallels

Did you guys configure something special in VMware? My VM'ed XP doesn't find the phone (Wizard) over USB, I just get an error in the RUU...
I'm running XP Pro 32bit in VMware 6 on Vista 64bit. Didn't change anything in the VMware configuration... Any ideas?
Not to horribly change the subject, but why not make sure your phone is supercid and flash from an sd card?
I have used this method many times from my Mac desktop, instead of getting out my XP Laptop.
at the very least:

ROM flash through VMWare with a hackintosh/osx86/hackint0sh
Just a little note for anyone searching
You can also flash from a VMWare XP virtual machine in OSX on a hackintosh
Hi all
Brand new to this forum, having just got an htc wizard and unfortuantely I have vista on my laptop.
I'm just wondering whether it's possible to use a vmware xp installtion (or similar) to flash my phone?
Is it a possibility?
I know it's possible with vista, but from reading it seems easier with xp?
Thanks
You need to install windows mobile device centre for vista from here

Hello so i struglle here now 2 days in a row trying to jailbreak my hd 7 , can anyone tell me how to do it if i am running Windows XP (3 service pack)
Do That To WIN7.
Do not have any acess to WIN7 ... so is there any way to unlock the phone using WINDOWS XP ?
Had the same issue; running XP and didn't want to upgrade. The only available solution for me was two fold; acquire vmware and vista/win 7 (trial versions will do fine). Install vmware, only 300mb, then load vista or win 7 from inside the prog, (I'd recommend win 7, as you'd need to load sp1 & 2 on vista before you can install developer tools!). And there you go! All whilst keeping use of xp!

no need for vmware, use virtual box it's freeware
