i just installed new Windows 10 version (1703) and now i'm not able to connect any Windows CE device because Windows Mobile Device center 6.1 doesn't run.
I tried to reinstall it but there is no way, the install process stops.
Do i have to downgrade to a previous version of Windows?
Is there a workaround for this situation?
Thanks for your advices
regards
UPDATE: Some good suggestions which seem to work are now at this web page.

PREVIOUS: I am able to get Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) to install, but not fully run. Installing required manually enabling the .NET Framework 3.5 similar to as described at the following web page.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/how-to-instal-net-framework-35-on-windows-10/450b3ba6-4d19-45ae-840e-78519f36d7a4
After install, you must right click on Start, and then click on Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services. Scroll down to right-click on "Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity" to select Properties > Log On. Switch to "Local System account" with checking "Allow service to interact with desktop" then click OK.
On the handheld, tap on Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC icon, uncheck the “Enable Advanced Network Functionality” checkbox, tap OK, and then connect the cable.
WMDC never shows connected, but ActiveSync on the handheld does, and you can at least open File Explorer on your PC to “browse the contents of the remote device” for transferring files. I am not sure how much this limits RAPI functions.
These Services settings changes must also be re-applied every time you Restart your PC. So this is obviously not a final solution.
I had the same problem.
I just did the following because I had 3.5 net framework :
Click right click on Start, and then click on Computer Management > Services & Applications > Services. Scroll down to right-click on "Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity" to select Properties > Log On. Switch to "Local System account" with checking "Allow service to interact with desktop" then click OK.
Restart my computer and it actually works again.
Thanks for sharing!
Try this
Open the command line as an administrator and run these two commands:
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RapiMgr /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WcesComm /v SvcHostSplitDisable /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
After that, reboot your PC/laptop and the Windows Mobile device center should work again.
Follow these steps
Go To Services
Find Windows Mobile-2003-based device connectivity (Something like that)
Select Properties
Log On
Log On As
Select: Local System Account
Go back to General Tab
Select Startup Type: Manual
Click Start
Click Ok

This worked for me, although not quite perfectly. When I disconnect my device the Device Center should stay up and show Disconnected, but instead it shuts down.
Just in case this helps someone.
Trying to connect VS2008 to WM6.1 device for a legacy project. I have been successful connecting to a WinCE device with just the registry update.
I made the changes as above, the registry updates, services logon to local and interact with desktop. Still couldn't get it to work.
Finally, I disabled the AVG advanced firewall and left the Windows firewall settings as they were and it worked. The firewall is set up so that any apps requiring access through them should cause popups but they didn't.
Can't see anyway to customize the AVG advanced firewall so will leave it off, at least while developing.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Is it possible to use the surface pro 3 as a dev test device. I tried looking around and there wasn't much information. What I mean by this is you connect your pro 3 to PC and deploy app to the tablet. My guesses are that you cannot but I thought I would get some clarification.
Thanks!
Yes it is possible you have to install remote debugging companents on your Surface Pro 3. And the appropriate one should be x64 version of VS Update 3 for you.
After you have installed the Remote Tools, choose Remote Debugger on the Start screen. The Remote Debugging Configuration appears the first time that you start the remote debugger.
On the Remote Debugging Configuration dialog box:
If the Windows Web Services API is not installed, choose Install
In the Configure Windows Firewall group, choose the networks that you want to allow connections to. Only those networks that the device is currently connected to are enabled. You must choose at least one network.
Choose Configure remote debugging to set the firewall options and start the remote debugger. Open the Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor dialog box to give users permissions to the remote tools and to set other advanced options.
The Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor dialog box appears. You can give users permissions to the remote tools and set other advanced option from this dialog box. Here you can find information you need.
Choosing the remote device for C# and VB Project:
Select the project name in Solution Explorer and then choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
Select Debug.
Choose Remote Machine from the Target Device list.
Enter the network name of the remote device in the Remote Machine box or choose Find to choose the device from the Select Remote Debugger Connection dialog box.
You start, stop, and navigate a remote debug session the same way you do a local session. Before you start debugging, make sure the Remote Debugging Monitor is running on the remote device.
Then choose Start Debugging on the Debug menu (Keyboard: F5). The project is recompiled, then deployed to and started on the remote device. The debugger suspends execution at breakpoints, and you can step into, over, and out of your code. Choose Stop Debugging to end your debug session and close the remote app.

I cant find information on this error anywhere. I am connecting to a brand new lumia icon (AKA lumia 929). Dev account is registered. I have attempted:
reinstalling windows phone SDK
restarting phone
restarting computer
ensured the app runs on the emulators properly. the only required capability of this app is network. Capabilities have not been changed from the defaults since the project was created. none of the manifest xml files have been touched.
ensured phone software version is up to date
ensured apphub account is valid and active
ensured the windows phone developer registration tool worked, unregistered and re-registered the phone to make sure
restarting the "ip over usb" windows service thingy
changing the platform built target to ARM or AnyCpu (no difference, same error)
tried alternate deployment methods such as windows phone power tools (the xap deploy) and I get the same error when trying to connect (so I know it's not an issue with visual studio, nor is it an issue with the app code)
I can successfully deploy separate code to a separate WP7 device (so I know it's not an issue with the computer)
tried multiple usb ports
tried two separate laptops
tried visual studio 2013 and 2012
The behavior is this:
Connect the phone via usb and unlock it
Attempt to connect to phone via windows phone power tools OR deploy an app via visual studio
System hangs for about 90 seconds and seems to time out
Error appears
I am able to view the phone contents, name it and explore it on my laptop, but when it comes time to deploy something I am stuck.
Error message is simply: 0x89371B01
What does that mean? Has anyone else run into this?
Have you checked the device drivers on your Windows 8.1 machine? It could be a driver issue with your USB drivers on the computer.
I have also found that, once you get it connected, going into the Device Manager and deleting the device from there and forcing it to reload has helped me in the past.
Out of curiosity, try running "sfc /scannow" at a command prompt on the PC. It may require admin elevation. I've seen some bizarre behaviors due to dll problems in sxs in win 8.1, wondering if this could be caused by that kind of thing.
Couple of things to try:
Have you installed the GDR3 Emulators and tried running it on the 1080p emulator? It looks like the 929 is a 1920x1080 phone and will have the latest the latest updates installed. First place to check.
Based on this feedback in another stackoverflow question it looks like someone was having a similar issue and disabling Hyper-V resolved it for him. If you disable Hyper-V and it works, try re-enabling it and see if you still have the issue.
jmshapland had the correct answer for me, with the same issue. Disabling Hyper-V did the trick! No thanks to microsoft phone dev center forum posting on the issue..
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/wpapps/en-US/24bd3e48-e7b4-4d00-8d69-193f49989ce0/0x89731b01-error-during-deploy-to-device?forum=wpdevelop
Looks like I'll be disabling Hyper-V to test on my device, and re-enabling to work in emulator mode:
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
and
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V /All
OK I was able to come up with a repeatable solution for the issue. Im HOPING that by posting this I dont tempt fate and have the phone not work again!
Here are the steps I did to resolve it (not sure if all of them are necessary):
On phone, disable wireless
Connect phone to laptop
Open device manager and click to show ALL HIDDEN DEVICES (including hidden devices is important)
Uninstall ALL phone-related devices (one in portable devices, several in USB
devices) anything that mentions lumia must go
Disconnect/reboot phone
Reboot laptop (there seems to be a process keeping the port open)
I had connectivity, then I lost it, then I re-gained it using these steps and it seems to be reliable for me (so far)
I just got Windows Server 2012 Essentials installed and I would like to set up my dev web projects in IIS on the server. But I can't seem to find how to get to it? When I remote to the machine with my admin account all I seem to have access to is the dashboard.
Can anyone tell me what to do?
Essentials comes with IIS preinstalled, so unless you uninstalled it for some reason, its there already.
I'm assuming you want to get to the IIS 8 admin tool.
In order to get there
press the start button (on your keyboard)
click on the Administrative Tools tile
From there scroll down to IIS Manager and double click
OR
Hold down the windows key and press the R key (win+r)
then type in inetmgr
Apparently is not that simple on ws2012 as I thought, please try following this guide:
http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/installing-iis-8-on-windows-server-2012
I don't think it's whether he has it installed or not, it's that they changed how you GET to it. IIS manager USED to be accessible from Server Manager, but it is no longer so. In 2008 (and earlier, but I don't have a box readily available) from Server Manager, expand Roles, then Web Server. If you click "web Server" You see a "dashboard", displaying events, Services, Best Practices, Etc. WITHIN that, you can click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and see the sites, and manage and configure the sites on the machine.
In 2012, you can ONLY see that dashboard information, events, service status, best practice, etc. There's no way to navigate into IIS and manage the sites and applications. Up in the top-right corner, the menu "Tools" (Between "Manage" and "View") contains IIS Manager.
I'd LOOOOOVE to see a transcript of the design session where this change was suggested. Mostly just to get the attendance, and then hunt them all down.
Make sure that the IIS Management Console is enabled through via Control Panel -> Programs and Features. From Server Manager, click Add roles and features and follow the prompts.
You can find the inetmgr.exe at the below location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
Or you can run it from the run window
Win + R -> inetmgr -> Enter
I would like to know if there is a tool simillar to mymobiler for Wince 5.0 which I can use to control the device from my desktop.
I use mymobiler (v1.25) but I believe it controls only devices running on WM5 and above.
Any help would be highly apprecited as the screen of my device has stopped working.
I use MyMobiler myself when I am coding for WinCE5.0 (not very often but I do know that it works.)
In your extracted MyMobiler zip file is three versions of remote.exe.
remote.exe
remote.exe.50
remote.exe.40
The only one I have gotten to work on wince5 is remote.exe.40
Just rename the existing remote.exe file (remote.exe.wm) [you may have to click tools, folder options, and uncheck hide extensions for known file types]
Next rename remote.exe.40 to remote.exe.
After that you are good to go. Copy remote.exe to the device through activesync (xp) or WMDC (>XP) and launch it on the device. It was a bit funny connecting for me the first time - I click connect on pc, then had to click the tray icon on the device, and click connect.
Good Luck!

This does work, the auto-install doesn't seem to work but if you copy the remote.exe over as mentioned (any location will do), then start remote.exe, click on the MYMobiler icon in the tray and select Connect, it will attach to your PC like the WinMobile version does.
Also, check the ini files in the MyMobiler directory. There's some details on the features/options.
I can confirm that Dave and Mike's solutions work on Windows CE 7 as well.
I was getting an error with the AYGSHELL.dll library when starting My Mobile after the gun was connected.
Run Mymobiler.exe before you connect the scanner to the PC and then connect to the PC using the tray icon from the gun. No error.
Hi I want to acces, open "inetmgr.exe" on my Windows 7 machine. But none of the searches are working. ( Start Menu --> Search Program and Files NOR Search in My Computer).
I somehow want to access inetmgr.exe of IIS(InternetInformation Services).
So can anyone kindly let me know the
default location of inetmgr.exe or any
DOS command to access it. I even
tried typing "inetmgr.exe" in command
prompt. But not working. So PLz
somehow I need to access inetmgr.exe.
Thanks in advance.
It should be available in following location:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\InetMgr.exe
But when you goto start menu and type inetmgr.exe it should be visible in the list. If not then something wrong with your installation or that file has been deleted.
At first check IIS is installed or not.
For XP
Open Control Panel
Add-Remove Windows Components.
For Windows 7 / Windows Server 2012
Open Control Panel
Programs and Features
Turn Windows features on or off.
I had the same issue. Go into Control Panel -> Programs-> Turn Windows features on or off.
Click on features for Internet Information Services. Specifically, Web Management Tools and Wold Wide Web Services.
For Web Management Tools
->IIS 6 Management Compatibility
->IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility. (or any other features you think you may need)
I had the same problem on Windows Server 2016 with it not wanting to search. IIS Manager (with our normal websites) was showing in the Start menu but IIS 6 Manager was not (where the SMTP Virtual Server settings are located).
Luckily you can launch it from within Server Manager:
Yes, I installed IIS and still couldn't find InetMgr.exe until I went back to
Turn Windows features on or off
and then checked
Internet Information Services
Web Management Tools
IIS Management Console
