Installing Sony Ericsson pc suite on Vista!

Having problem with SE pc suite on vista???
cant install it??
Dont worry! you have come to the right place. Heres a great tip which worked fine for me with my W810i

Follow These instructions Carefully:

-Goto control panel -> user accounts -> Turn user account control on /off -> Untick UAC box -> ok -> restart.
- Run the installation program
- When you get the error, do NOT click OK, but leave this open.
- go to localsettings/temp
- find a new folder with the most recent date and time (from when you extracted it)
- copy the MSI files to your desktop
- Use Orca.msi (http://www.brentnorris.net/orca.msi) to edit the Sony Ericssion PC Suite.msi file
- Edit a line called Launchcondition – remove the first line
- Edit a line called file remove the first 2 lines called msxml4.dll & msxml4r.dll (old verisons you have to remove them or the installation will halt as the system won't be able to overwrite the newer files in Vista)
- Save

- Run the Pc Suite.msi file, now choose custom install and choose the following stuff to install later:-
Image editor
MMS home studio
mobile newtworking wizard

Actually u can try installing them but there are chances of errors poping up

- Download m-Router installer http://developer.intuwave.com/Downloads/m-Router & run it using Win XP Sp2 comptability Mode and with administrator Previliage.(Not required in case ur USB drivers install properly!)

- Connect your phone to the PC, check device manager to make sure all phone drivers are loaded and installed properly, if prompted always choose automatically locate.

- Restart your PC

- Thats it for now, you have a full working Smartphone PC Suite working On Windows Vista!

    This method worked perfectly for me – I have a sony W850I and did not need to install mrouter – The installation looked as though it had stopped about 95% into the install, But I left it for 10 minutes and it finished.

    Thanks dude.

    hi Joel,

    Thanks for the package (not DL’d it yet) I’ve read your instructions and it’s what I’ve already done. The software is already installed and works great it’s just the drivers that don’t work for me and you have listed:

    4> Now you can start the program and install necessary USB drivers.

    where do we get such drivers from?

    TIA
    Dan

    Anyone know how this can fixed?

    Thanks everyone!

  16. March 25th, 2007 at 23:25 | #16

    @Dan
    The drivers are in your SE cd that you get when you buy the phone.
    after installation insert the cd then start the software

    @Craig
    I think some editing has gone wrong. download m torrent
    it should wrk fine

    I am confused. Can someone clarify what lines need to be deleted from LaunchCondition. As per http://thinkabdul.com/2007/04/08/tutorial-howto-install-mrouter-and-sony-ericsson-pc-suite-for-smartphones-on-microsoft-windows-vista/

    -Edit the line called Launchcondition – Remove the first line starting with WindowsNT (Line 1,2 and 4) whereas your article states the first line only?

    hi! i have a question, coz im really scared of messing up my vista if i get wrong. i just wanna ask if vista is doing something about the problem of not being able to install our w810i’s to our computers… when and what do you think will vista do about this probleM?

  47. May 17th, 2007 at 14:54 | #47

    This will absolutely in noway harm ur Vista..
    So dont get scared. And regarding the official Sony ericsson software for vista….
    It will be launched within few months..
    I just dont know why are they delaying it so much.

    Joel,

    This is fantastic – thanks for all your hard work. Can you send me an invitation to download and I’ll promise to seed.

    Please send to:

    thinktechno AT garylane DOT com

    I’ve also just been exploring the FJ Software site. I note that MyPhoneExplorere doesn’t work eith the Symbian phones (I use an M600i). Can I just clarify that there should be no problem (that you know of!) using your version of SmartSuite for an M600i?

    Thanks

    Gary
