Add Synchronization Manager possible? (after install)

[bobn4burton]

My offline files tab is missing and I can't seem to get it back. I read somewhere that if you remove synchronization manager then it will also remove the offline files tab. I nlited my install about 1 year ago and can't remember if I originally removed Synchronization manager or not.

1. Is there anyway to check if Syncrhonization Manager is installed on my nlited machine??

2. If it was removed, is there anyway to add it back now (without re-installing??)??

Thanks for any help! Need to get my offline files feature working!!

bobn4burton, quick note. If you have the original install CD, the Last Session.ini file should be on it (Unless you selected the Option not to save). So find the CD and please post the Last Session.ini. The bad news is that is very hard if not impossible to reinstall an removed component, but we will take a look after you post your Last Session. Enjoy, John.

Maybe you can check Properties of "My Computer", "General" tab and "Support Information" button, mine lists the removed components. I don't know if this display is linked to the "OEM branding" option.

As for readding removed components, it is dfferent for each, and impossible for some. There are loads of threads about that.

So I installed form a USB flash stick and I looked on there and can't find a "Last Session.ini" anywhere on the disk??

Unfortunately I did this long enough ago that I can't remember everything I did. Is there any other reason my offline files tab would be missing?

My General tab doesn't have a "Support Information" button?? Any other way to get to this?

Thanks for the help so far guys...sorry I am not able to provide all the info you need to efficiently help me debug :(

bobn4burton, in my System32 folder is a file named msfeedssync.exe. Take a look at your folder and see if you have one. Also do a Google search and see what the module is about and other information about Synchronization Manager - I get lots of hits on it. MSDN has lots of articles and perhaps you can find how to enable it or put it back together.

Ponch, the Support Information is placed there by the "OEM branding" Option. I find it useful.

Have fun, John.

Some files of that component(s):

cscdll.dll

cscui.dll

mobsync.dll

I'm sure there are more. Put in system32, register them. Maybe try with Dependency Walker to see if they depend on any others... And of course, ProcessMonitor might help too.
