I'm having a problem with Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows 7 x86
[system.environment]:
sversion.version says its
major 6
minor 1
build 7901
revision 65536
Windows Mobile Device Center fails to connect to a device.
It will load, so long as a device is not sitting there. As soon as you dock the device, Windows Mobile Device Center crashes.
WMDHost crashes with an exit status 0xffffffff (from Event Viewer).
After following some instructions found here on creating debugging logs,
Windows Mobile Device Center - How to Create Debugging Logs
I ended up with logs.
WMDHost.log didn't indicate anything of interest.
The WMDC.log file had this though, and produces it consistently when the device is docked.

So it looks like an Access Denied to IPortableDevice.Open
Looking at this page on IPortableDeviceOpen
IPortableDevice::Open
it points out that Admins can restrict access to portable devices, but doesn't indicate what those things to look at are.
The device itself happens to be a Windows CE device running an unknown version.
Is there any reference as to what items I need to check/change to get Windows Mobile Device Center to work.
Device is a Datalogic Falcon 4400.
