Outlook 2010 64Bit Versions Don’t Play Nice With WMDC

WTF Microsoft? Ugh….

If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2010 64Bit Version you can expect to have some problems syncing your Windows Mobile Device via Windows Mobile Device Center. What’s the problem? The Problem is that if “you install an unsupported version of Outlook 2010, Outlook contacts, email and calendar items will be removed from the phone during the first sync time.”

The only cure for this is to run a 32-bit version of Outlook 2010 that uses a standard MSI installation.

So you are probably thinking that Microsoft will eventually fix this aren’t you? Mmmm not so much…

“There are no plans to update Windows Mobile Device Center to improve compatibility with Outlook 2010.”
