I have spent(wasted) the past two hours googling for a solution. Please help. I am running Windows 7. I have used VS2008 to build a mobile app, targeted at Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. I need to deploy this app to a Symbol MC70 device (running Windows Mobile 5). When I put the device in its cradle, and connect the cradle to my machine with a usb cable, the device shows up in “Devices and Printers” (in the “Unspecified” group) as “Symbol USB ActiveSync RNDIS”. When deploying my app from within VS2008, I select the “Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Device R2” option in the “Deploy Dispatch” dialog box. The deploy fails with the following error: “The specified services does not exist as an installed service.” How do I get Windows 7 to correctly see the attached device?

If all else fails (and it seems it has) copy the CoreCon bits (conmanclient2, cmaccept, etc) to the device and manually run them. See this blog entry.
