Windows Mobile Device Centre under Windows 7 has no idea Windows Live Email is present

I'm annoyed with the message that pops up in Windows Mobile Device Centre
6.1 whenever I attempt to connect my HTC TyTN II to automatically update its
QuickGPS data. The message reads "There is no email program associated to
perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is
already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control
panel." Since when has updating my quick GPS required an email program to be
installed? Yes I realise that message is for systems without Outlook
installed but really this shouldn't be popping up with the latest Windows
Live Email installed on a PC with the latest OS, Windows 7, installed on it.
I've manually gone into control panel and confirmed that "Windows Live Mail
is your next generation software that puts you in control of your E-Mail
experience." Does anyone know if a workaround to stop this message popping
up with all of the existing (free) software (installing Outlook does not
appeal to me). I've gone in to select nothing to sync but the message still
occurs.

I think Microsoft should urgently revise WMDC to make it more Windows 7 and
Windows Live Mail friendly, it might encourage more people to install
Windows Live Mail.

Thanks for the tip Anthony, I had high hopes and followed the instructions
to the letter. Alas that registry edit to create a new string doesn't seem
to have made a bit of difference. Have you tested this under Win 7 with the
latest Windows Live Mail version at all? I've even rebooted and tested again
but that annoying message persists.

I'm running it on Windows Live Mail 14.0.8089.0726 and it works on my copy
of Windows 7.

I'm running 32 bit windows 7. Are you by chance running 64 bit?

No, I'm running 32 bit and it's the Home Premium version build 7600. I've
double checked the registry entry and there are two almost identical entries
in there (amongst other entries) with the only difference being the name for
the original is DLLPath and the name for the one I added is DLLPathEx, the
rest of the value data and string type is identical between the two - both
have C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Mail\smapi.dll . It appears we have
identical setups but mine is not behaving the same as yours. Perhaps a
screen shot of the relevant section under regedit on your website would help
to point out any differences? I also have a subfolder or whatever the
registry equivalent is for Hotmail and one for Windows Mail (even though
Windows 7 doesn't have Windows Mail).

Thanks for your persistence with this Anthony. Again for any Microsoft
software developers who stumble across this thread, you really ought to fix
this problem - ideally with a new version of WMDC that also doesn't say it's
for Vista when you go to install it.

And is it REG_EXPAND_SZ or just REG_SZ?

Do you have a default set up in the Mail key above the Windows Live Mail
key.

I've updated my site with additional links today too.

I'm going to stay posting at the top here or it becomes confusing if I
change mid stream. Both the original and added entry under Windows Mail are
REG_EXPAND_SZ but the (Default) and LocalizedString are just REG_SZ. The
Mail Key above did have a section for default but the string value was no
value so I followed your additional step 8 to add Windows Live Mail as that
value but it's made no difference and it still won't get rid of the "message
from hell".

Alas it looks like a job for Microsoft to sort out WMDC (and maybe Windows
Live Mail as well) to resolve this once and for all. Personally I can't see
why they don't just make Windows Live Mail work fully with WMDC and Windows
Mobile 6 devices. Outlook doesn't have a Newsreader so there's no way I want
to install that to get full message integration. Even if they don't go that
far though, I still expect the unrelated email message to go away as what I
want to do at the moment (quickGPS updates), has no need for any email
client at all.

OK,

Do you have a PreFirstRun value in your HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail key? If
so, what happens if you rename it?

Have you set your default mail client via internet explorer?

Finally, is the sync set up to try to sync email on sync options in WMDC?

There is no PreFirstRun related entry at all in there, neither in the Mail
key, nor sub-keys.
Internet Explorer recognises Windows Live Mail when I click Read Mail and
Clicking the page button shows some options relating to Windows Live. I
don't see a specific option like in previous versions of Internet Explorer
to choose your email or newsgroup program though (maybe because Windows Live
Mail is the only one installed and I didn't install any of Outlook in my
Microsoft Office installation - the way I want it to be).
The sync in WMDC is setup to sync nothing (ie no options ticked) and
quickGPS normally syncs with that setting (it also did so under XP with AS
4.5). Unfortunately it wont sync if I choose connect without setting up your
device on the initial WMDC screen or I'd only ever use that.

__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4755 (20100108) __________

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

Odd.

My machine hasn't got any version of Office on it, and I got that message
initially, made the changes and it went away.

Have you searched your registry for the message being displayed, if so, what
key's it under.

Secondly, have you shutdown and restarted windows since you made the change?
