WM5 programs on WM6?

ActiveSync 4.5 only shows me 3 of the many WM5 programs installed on my PC
when I connect my new WM6 classic device. Is there a backward compatibility
issue when going from WM5 to WM6? With previous releases, virtually all the
older programs still worked when a device with a newer OS was connected. The
3 programs shown available for WM6 are recent upgrades.

Hi Rich,

Most WM5 applications should run on WM6. About the programs not appearing,
try reinstalling them.

Thanks, Raj. Reinstalling the programs seems to solve the problem.
