Alright, I had windows 7 but then I had my graphics card fail (its being RMA'd) so I went ahead and formated back into Windows Xp Pro SP3 and in Windows 7 Droid Explorer opened just fine and no problems. Now in XP when I try to open it it gave me a bogus error, I knew what it was so I installed .Net Framework. Now when I double click the install file it doesn't open at all.
Any reason why this isn't working?
XP is an awesome operating system, its fast and deff not as much of a resource hog as Vista, 7 is good though.
Make sure its not running in the background. alt+ctrl+del and make sure its not running (setup.exe or w/e)
Droid Explorer
Make sure you have .NET Framework 3.5 with Sp1.
Here it is....

Hi guys
I have done this twice before (last year), each time it has taken forever to do, lots and lots of searching. This time around I am posting the info in one place!
I am currently running Windows 7 64bit Beta, this info should also apply to Windows Vista (x64 i guess) if you are having problems
1. Download Vmware (I recommend vmware player its way less bloated and you can build your custom vmware install over at easyvmx.com IF you go down the vmware player route rather than workstation/server/etc)
2. Install a copy of XP (Beg/Borrow/Steal - I just tested XP SP3, the time before would have been SP2)
3. Google Active sync and install it in the vmware install of XP
4. Install (again within the XP vmware install) the attached file in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418446#post3299749
Carry on updating as per normal
(Grab a copy of the rom in question, extract the archive and then place a copy of HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into the folder with the extracted rom contents - Again all within the XP vmware install)
If you are totally stuck for getting a XP box to upgrade on, and you are geek enough to actually upgrade a rom installing XP in a vmware setup is easy!
PS, yes there probably are 323235 other methods to get the job done, but these are the steps It took me 4 hours to work out today.
Off topic, If <insert random company here> had their way, most of our devices would be in the bin due to being outdated crap (software wise)! love the work every one on xda-developers.com does, including but not limited to the guys pushing out new roms for us!
Extra off topic, SimCity 2000 for windows mobile ROCKS!
Hi, that lokks like it is worth to be attached to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428469, cause it seems to solve the problems under WM 7beta and Vista 64-bit.
I installed a new 120 GB hard drive with no problems. I already purchased a copy of Windows 7 HP not Pro or Ultimate. Should have but didn't, too late. Anyway, I did the upgrade and now can't get the shift to recognize my external DVD drive as a bootable source. What do I do now. Is it possible to take a DVD copy of Win 7 and put it on a USB drive and create an iso file? Is there another way to get my shift to boot from a DVD that I am not aware of. I only get the option of booting from the new hard drive which is blank. I really don't want to have to buy another copy of Win 7 as a download. Is there a link to still download the Win 7 rc file? Any help would be great.
Alright, got windows 7 mounted to a usb drive and installed on the Shift but now I can't seem to get any of the drivers to install. I just get a error message about not being able to open the zip file.
are you in windows 7 ?
If you are in Windows 7, and you copied the drivers from HTC over to your device, copy them again from your device to another folder on your device, then start driver install.
Copying files from a remote source often blocks the files.
Then, if you are in Windows 7, there's a particular order to install the drivers, i gather you have discovered this yourself already.
Not being able to open a zip file. Try unzipping all the drivers on another computer then and copy them to your shift, then move them to any other directory on your shift (to release the files)
Windows 7 really works like a charm on the Shift. I don't know if your version has AERO on it, I hope so as even with aero it's really fast.
Yes, I finally figured that out. Unzip them first then install them. Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees. I was then having problems with wifi, 3g and bluetooth. I accidentally tried to install the control center drivers with the compatibility mode set to xp accidentally. Everything is working great now. Sometimes I need to slow down a little.
Hey all, I've been using a 32bit version of Windows 7 for a while now, however last night, I decided I would completely wipe my hardrive and start fresh, and so I though, considering I have 4gb of ram, I would go to 64bit. However Ive just been reinstalling all my applications, and it seems Win Ce Cab Manager is only comptible with 32bit operating systems.... Surely not everyone who makes cabs on this site is running 32 bit Have any of you found any solutions to running a 32bit program like Win Ce on a 64bit os like windows 7?
Thanks in advance
32bit programs DO work on a 64bit OS, they get installed into a different program files folder (Program Files x86).
I have WinCE Cab Manager working fine on my Windows 7 64bit.
Worked on Vista 64 + 7 64 can you please explain what doesn't work?
Have you installed MSXML 4.0
I'm not back to XP Pro SP3 as had .ico issues with Windows 7 yep get 3GB of RAM but the overheads are so low that it's not comparable and it just works

Yeah most seem to, however when I run the setup I get this error:
Code:
The instillation/removal of a previous program was not completed. You will need to restart your computer to complete the installation.
After restarting your computer, run Setup again to complete the installation of WinCE CAB Manager
However I still get the error when I restart. And then I found [this] which made me assume that it wasnt compatible?
Ive tried running the setup in compatibility mode, no luck.

MSXML 4.0 is essential you may also find that you need to update .net 3.5 can't mem about if 7 needed it but i had a very similar error when didn't have both noted.

Hey guys and gals, I'm having a problem with installing apps to wp7. I have xbmod rom, and when I want to send an app to device it says something about that device is not connected. But it is, and it has cert installed via email. Zune is up, and Dev tolls installed...
I just want to install Facebook and youtube. nothing else... Can I put xap files in rom and than do an automatic install at first startup?
please help
fixed, I installed Vista on virtual machine, and it worked... so, I guess the fault is either in operating system (win 7 64bit) or some installed software are doing conflicts (not skype or firewall nor AV)
So, mod can lock this.
hey am having the same problem, can you tell me how you did it
like more info?
thanks

As I was getting connection errors in my Win 7 64bit, in chevorn, app deployment software, tom xap etc. I just installed Windows Vista 32bit (Sp2- important) on virtual machine (vmware or virtualbox, whichever you prefer) and then I installed Windows Phone development tools in that windows, and that's it. App deployment works, chevron works... everything works as charm.
As I sad, I guess that our installations of Windows have some software that blocks ports, in my case, I'm pretty sure that port 443 was open, but something else was interfering with connection of HD2.
So fresh install of Windows or even better Windows on virtual machine is the real solution. because nothing else worked till this.
Hope I helped someone with this. Mods can put this information is some sticky tutorials about connection problem.
Good Luck
how do you get QXDM to install on windows 7? Ive tried multiple versions but they always fail on install asking for IE 5.0 or IE6.0 or greater, when I have IE10 installed. Any ideas?
I've read that if you run in windows 95 mode and disable windows features that it works.
Edit: you could always create a vm with windows xp. Also look for a internet explore 5 install. Try that. I know it sounds stupid but maybe internet explorer 7 and up changed the way it explores
Edit edit: which version do you have? Use .12 or later and make sure your internet explorer is set as default. *found on some forum* this is useful because I've had the same issue with a different program back in the early days of windows 7.

Not solved for me...running Win7 64bit and same installation error message re: IE...
Fixed QXDM 3.11.36 can't install on win 7 64bits
If you got "QXDM need ie6 or later error" when try to install it on windows 7 64bit, here is the solution that works for me:
Remove Internet Explorer including IE9, IE10, IE11, any newer version.
Then try to install QXDM now, try with admin if you still got error.
I got it work with QXDM 3.11.36, windows 7 ultimate 64bits.
Hope this help some one!
