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?
Connect to Symbol MC70 with Windows 7

It sounds like you haven't installed Windows Mobile Device Center. You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=46f72df1-e46a-4a5f-a791-09f07aaa1914
