I was able to get WMDC working flawlessly on my WM5 Pocket PC using this work
around I found on http://forum.xda-developers.com, so please use this at your
own risk, but it is working for RC1 build 5600 just fine.

Until the official WMDC update for Vista RC1 arrives, there is a way to sync
with Vista RC1 NOW, by doing the following:

1. Delete any existing partnership from your mobile or computer.
2. Go to regedit of Vista, find HKLM\Software\Microsoft
3. Add a new Key called: WHOS
4. Plug-in your mobile via USB
5. Run Windows Update
6. Windows Update should determine you have a NEW update available.
7. Download/install the available update.
8. Update that installs using TyTN is:
Microsoft Corporation driver update for HTC USB Sync
9. WMDC icon is installed on desktop.
10. Set up a new partnership to get this running with Outlook.
11. Use WMDC for available configurations & options.
12. Sync Center icon will show in tray after install & new partnership.
13. You have access to all files on your TyTN & microSD card.
14. To test, I successfully installed a new program on my TyTN, using
Windows install method. (CAB installs can be done without WMDC.)
15. Also, I successfully sync'd Outlook to TyTN.
16. A ROM update could now be done successfully with Vista RC1 computer.

YOU are responsiblefor anything that could go wrong, like losing data or
having to reinstall Vista RC1.
 
Mine is WM5 - I suspect that this registery edit permitted the earlier
version of WMDC to update to RC1. Therefore it probably won't work with
2003se but feel free to give it a shot!
