PC Suite for Smartphones on Windows 7

Many people are experinecing problem with Windows 7 and Sony Ericsson PC Suite version 1.5.26 for Smartphones such as P1i, G900, G700, W960 etc.

I managed to get it work and heres a little how to:

The problem is that the folder symbian 9 drivers isn't installed correctly. What you need to do is:

1. Download PC Suite from Sony Ericssons webpage:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pcsuite/g900?cc=gb&lc=en

2. As you can see in the requirements it doesn't say Windows 7 like it does for PC Suite 6.009.00 for non-smartphones. Follow the instructions and make sure you close all other processes while installing and that you haven't connected the USB-cable.

3. Install the latest PC Suite (1.5.26) in Compatibility Mode for Windows Vista and Run as administrator. Right click setup file and select properties -> compatibility mode.

4. Restart your computer.

5. Download and unzip the following:

6.Install the Setup.exe (File version: 4.40.2.1) in Compatibility Mode for Windows Vista and Run as administrator.

Do not connect the usb-cable until now.
