How to properly reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center?
(If there is a better forum or place to ask the below question please advise!)
The SW I am using to synchronize my Windows Mobile phone with my desktop Outlook recently turned more and more sour and eventually always only seconds after connecting the device reproducibly crashed with the message "Window mobile Device Center Sync Host has stopped working.".
Eventually I decided to uninstall "Windows Mobile Device Center" and re-install it.
To reinstall I ran the setup.exe program that I had found in C:\Windows\WindowsMobile. But apparently that was either not the right setup file or some pieces must still be missing, because since that re-install the greenish dialog that used to open when starting WMDC lacks the right part of the content and instead there is now always an alert popping up: "unhandled exception has occured in your application ...." (the details I append below).
That means, that my mobile device synchronization is now completely f*$#%# up. Any idea how to re-install Window Mobile Device Center plus Mobile Sync Center such that they work again?
