When I install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1 on a windows2008 system, a pop-up dialog box prompts you for missing Windows components that are required for a Windows Mobile device center. Please help solve this problem.
This issue occurs because your Windows 2008 system does not have the desktop experience enabled. The way to turn on the desktop experience is as follows: First, click Start menu → Run command, enter "Services.msc" and return to open the Services dialog box, locate the "Themes" service item, double-click to open it, and change "Startup Type" to "automatic". Second, locate Server Manager on the Start menu → administrative tools, click Features on the left pane, then click Add Features in the right pane to open the Add Features Wizard, select the bottom-down second "desktop experience" to add the installation desktop experience, Then restart your computer to install Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1 correctly.
