This is probably the first significant issue I've had with the HTC Hero, and it's primarily a bug with Windows refusing to play nice with a driver installation. I'm trying to install the HTC Sync software on my PC, which also comes with a driver installation. But when it gets to the driver configuration, it doesn't do anything productive and just gives the following error... so, uh, help?
---------------------------
Device Driver Installation Wizard

ERROR: Path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64' not found.
DPInst.exe: installs and uninstalls driver packages.

all driver packages found.

I have the same problem any luck fixing it yet?
ReplyDelete@Gordon - Turns out that HTC's official stance is that Windows 7 isn't supported. Hopefully they'll get around to supporting it sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteArrrgghhhh!! damn!! I had the thing working, could sync and so on ... as I tried to install the new 2.0.6 - Version (so uninstall the old 2.0.33 and reinstall 2.0.6) the tool did break ... since then I can not get it working again ... someone has an idea? cleaning the registry did also not work
ReplyDeleteAgain me ...
