Fix for Mobile Device Center For Windows Vista RC1 user

Thanks to blend at www.PdaPhonehome.com

"Hey,
I think they are supposed to release WMDC again soon, but this works perfectly. I just did it with no problems. I know the instructions are for a tytn but it doesn't matter. I also did not delete all the partnerships from my i730...but you can only have 2 partnerships so if they are both taken, you do have to delete one. Basically, just create that reg key, plug in your device, then run update

Oh yeah, this is copied from the Vista communities, which was posted from XDA-developers forum.

Please use this work around at your own risk. It worked for me and I am
cutting and pasting this text from http://forum.xda-developers.com

Until the official WMDC update for Vista RC1 arrives, there is a way to sync
with Vista RC1 NOW, by doing the following:

1. Delete any existing partnership from your mobile or computer.
2. Go to regedit of Vista, find HKLM\Software\Microsoft
3. Add a new Key called: WHOS
4. Plug-in your mobile via USB
5. Run Windows Update
6. Windows Update should determine you have a NEW update available.
7. Download/install the available update.
8. Update that installs using TyTN is:
Microsoft Corporation driver update for HTC USB Sync
9. WMDC icon is installed on desktop.
10. Set up a new partnership to get this running with Outlook.
11. Use WMDC for available configurations & options.
12. Sync Center icon will show in tray after install & new partnership.
13. You have access to all files on your TyTN & microSD card.
14. To test, I successfully installed a new program on my TyTN, using
Windows install method. (CAB installs can be done without WMDC.)
15. Also, I successfully sync'd Outlook to TyTN.
16. A ROM update could now be done successfully with Vista RC1 computer.


YOU are responsiblefor anything that could go wrong, like losing data or
having to reinstall Vista RC1."
