Running Nokia Software Updater on Windows 7 x64



I have been running Nokia PC Suite and NSU on my Windows 7 x64 PC with no problems for a while... but now Win7's been officially released, NSU tried to run an upgrade when I ran it, then told me that it doesn't support the operating system!
Looks like someone is covering their backside until they get a copy of Win7 to play with :-)

Anyway, the good news is that it DOES work on Windows 7 32 and 64 bit.

  1. Forget about the automatic updater...
  2. Download the updater file direct from the nokia site
  3. Right click the file you downloaded and select Properties
  4. Select the compatibilty tab and choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
  5. Click OK
  6. Right click on the NokiaSoftwareUpdaterSetup_en.exe file again and select Run as Administrator
  7. Install as usual and away you go!
I hope this helps you out.. if it does, please click on the ads on this page to show your appreciation.
