Basically installing windows 7 drivers on windows 8

Because when u install HTC sync their r no specific drivers for windows 8 so the driver folder is empty

1. jump on a windows 7 computer 32 or 64 bit the same as the windows 8 computer
2. download this the htc drivers HTCDriver install them
3. go to C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver copy the files and put them on the windows 8 computer
4. windows key + r to open the device manager then look under the other devices right click htc than update driver
5. click browse my computer for driver software then browser and find the drivers from the windows 7 computer
6. it well install and work fine

if u can't get on a windows 7 computer the 64bit drivers are here Driver Files
and start at step 4

You can download HTC Sync Manager from http://www.htc.com/uk/software/htc-sync-manager/#download which can be installed on Windows 8 (although it may not run properly!).
This will install the correct HTC Drivers (32 or 64 bit) v3.0.0.023 which are later than the driver above.
If you don't require Sync Manager then that can be uninstalled afterwards without uninstalling the drivers.

the point why I wrote this if u install HTC sync normally on windows 8 the driver folder is empty because their is no drivers for Windows 8 so I wrote this to show people who didn't know that u can install the windows 7 drivers

I use it since first developer preview. And i can say, it`s faster than 7. I use dual boot, cause there are still some things I need under 7, and I compare them both on one machine, so i know what i`m saying.
And, untill now, I had no problems with drivers...

HTC updated the installer and the Sync Manager, but it is not working.

During the installation, the installer is giving an error message, that the driver package can not be installed and it is asking, that we would like to continue with installation of sync manager... So, the 1.1.48 version is wrong.

But I found a workaround: You have to install first the older sync manager: 1.0.42.2 and then you have to update it to the newest 1.1.48.
The old version will install a HTC Driver version 3.0.0.024. During the update the error message appear, but you have already installed the drivers, so you can continue. With that workaround I have working the tethering and the sync maneger too.

    Maybe because HTC updated HTC Sync and Sync Manager last month and they included drivers that work on windows 8 ;)
