Do not download and install WMDC on Windows 7.

Just a quick note to invite you all to not install Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows 7 computer. At least, do not do it manually. I am seeing a lot of issues related to devices not synchronizing. All these reported issues have one thing in common: the user downloaded and installed WMDC. In some cases, installation would simply fail.

Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that you do NOT manually install WMDC. Instead, just connect your device to the PC via USB and let Windows 7 do it all for you. It will take a few minutes to download and install WMDC and the drivers, so be patient. This has worked perfectly on multiple Windows 7 machine I've installed and there is no reason it should not for you.

For those out there upgrading from Vista, make sure you remove WMDC prior to running the upgrade. You will be asked to uninstall WMDC anyway.
