I have successfully install and run Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta on Windows Vista x64 (not tested on Windows XP x64). The installer, is seem, is the only obstacle that prevent it.

To install it on Vista x64,

1. Obtain and install Orca

2. Extract Phone Data Manager Setup.exe

3. Right click on mobsyncsetup.msi and click Edit with Orca

4. Go to and select LaunchCondition in the left

5. Right click Installed OR NOT VersionNT64 and click Drop Row

6. Save the file and run setup.exe

You will need to download the x64 driver for your phone.

Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta work on my Razr V3. If you have Razr V3, download x64 driver here: developer.motorola.com/.../Handset_USB_Driver_64

Orca can be download from here: www.softpedia.com/.../Orca.shtml

I installed it.. nothing new. Just the sync with Live (in fact i have 10 new contacts without a name, just blank). What i want ? An app that allows you to: create/edit themes, create/edit contacts, read/send sms, and the ovbious, sync.. in fact, i want to select exactly what things (1x1) to sync. This only demostrate that MSFT can connect to almost any device ? :S

@Seika

I sync my contacts using Outlook with Nokia PC Suite, by using this, this duplicated all my contacts twice.

So i would suggest update all the details on your Windows Live ID account and delete contacts from your phone and then sync as this way you won't duplicate the data/contacts

How about the conflict resolution ? And how will it match existing contact from the phone and from Live Contact ?

I don't want to end up with hundreds of duplicates and have to manually clean it up later.

@sp1der: Windows Live Mobile directly connects the phone with the WL-Servers, while Phone Data Manager connects to the phone using USB.

This is one prong of the MS version of Mobile ME. They should also be able to get this to work with the calendar as well. It uses sync ML. They could do the whole live thing.
