This is what I was able to get to work


1) Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and click on Turn Windows features on or off.

2) Check the boxes for .NET Framework 3.5 and press OK.

3) Change the CCP program to run as administrator under compatibility settings.

4) Then run the MDC installer from within CCP (green circle at top under tools tab)

5) 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.


Thanks for everyone's help over the years. This forum has saved me many times.
