Below is the wmdc.log
it shows the following error:
wmdc Error: 6 : Caught exception: System.IO.IOException: Illegal operation
attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.
I think the first error(DeviceDisconnectedException) is because I closed
the "installing hardware" dialog that showed the device failed message.
