Windows 10: Windows can't stop your 'WMS Volume Sideband 6' device because a program is still using it.

Hello,


Following are the details:


OS : Windows 10 Pro

OS Build : 18363.836


Irrespective of the make or model of the external storage device, I am unable to eject the same. Always prompted the following:





Found the instructions detailed at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/555665 to be useless.

Assign drive letter to WM phone

Hey all.

So I've got an HTC Touch Dual. It's a pretty good phone, running WM 6, and I've bouch a 4GB microSD card. When I connect the phone to the computer the WM Device Center pops up.

Now what I need to do is basicly assign the phone a drive letter. Some PDA programs I want to install (from a CD) need that, and in WinXP it had a drive letter, but in Win7 the phone just shows as a "HTC Touch Dual". Wich means I cannot install that program to it, because I need a drive letter.

Any suggestions, anyone?

Thanks for looking! *Smile

EDIT: Oh, and copy the files directly to the phone doesnt work, there are no install files for the PDA itself.

 

Assign drive letter to WM phone

I dont think you can do what you are trying to do.

The mobile device has control of the installed SD card. You access the SD card from WM.

If you want to put something on to the SD card with WITHOUT using the sync softare, but just drag and drop, you need to remove the SD from the phone, plug it into the PC with a SD card slot, drag and drop, then move the SD back to the card.

If you want to "INSTALL" something onto the WM device, then you need to run a special installer ON THE WM. You cant install from the PC "to" the "SD: drive" directly. Where do you think that would put all the registry settings? In your PC windows registry and not on the WM device! That's why there are special installer files to execute in Windows that use ActiveSync to install onto the WM.

Remember, you cant have two devices competing to use the card at the same time. So if you just want to drag and drop mp3 files... it sounds trivial... but WHO has control of the filesystem? Windows or Windows(mobile)? See. Conflict.

May I politely suggest you RTFM!?!

 

Develop Program for WM 5 & 6

Dear All,



I have some questions about developing a program for WM 5 & 6. I am currently in a project of making a small software application for PocketPCs with WM 5 & 6. I'm using MS Visual Studio 2005, C# environment, because simply I saw there is a project type Pocket
PC 2003. I'm also planning to use MySQL for handling the database.



My questions are:

- Can I develop this program for WM 5 & 6 with Pocket PC 2003 project type?

- Can I also install MySQL environment in WM 5 & 6? Or should I choose different environment?



Ok, I hope I'm in the correct forum to ask this


TIA,

Herru
