I found this while browsing the MS WindowsMobile site. Though I knew it was coming...I'm not 100% sure if it was JUST posted tonight or earlier.

I'm most excited about Smartphone File Synchronization, though there seem to be quite a few new features everyone else may get all jazzed up about! :rolleyes: Enjoy Vista/WindowsMobile users!

So I downloaded it and I have run the installation 3 times.

My WMDC still shows 6.0.something and there is nothing in there about syncing files.

What am I doing wrong?

Go to the sync setup and click on File sync (check box). (Same place where you choose which PIM apps to sync)

I would guess its not uninstalling 6.0 for you. Best to remove 6.0 in control panel, remove programs.

Be warned File Sync does not enable automatically. You need to go into setting to enable it.

@jimbouk...I dont think it installs until 6.0.xxx is closed and uninstalled which it does automatically. (But I guess there are exceptions).
