Installing Nokia PC Suite on Windows Server 2003

It has been a long time I was searching some solution to install Nokia PC Suite on my Machine running on Server OS. After a lot of goggling I didn’t found any solution, till today when I tried installing it in a different way. For all of you who are in search of the method, I am sharing it here.

Disclaimer: I am not taking any responsibility of any misfortune to your system. Nokia has restricted the installation of the PC Suite in the Setup for Windows Workstation only. There may be a few drivers for the phone failing to install such as Nokia Mobile Modem (failed for me too) once you connect the new phone very first time.

Step 1: Download the latest version of the Nokia PC Suite for your mobile from Nokia Site.

Step 2: Extract all the contents by running the executable with /unpack switch as shown below:
Nokia_PC_Suite_7_1_30_9_eng_us_web.exe /unpack
This will unpack the contents of the installer in folder C:\Packages

Step 3: Install the Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver by running
C:\packages\CCD\Setup\Nokia_Connectivity_Cable_Driver.msi
Don’t choose to restart if asked.

Step 4: Install PC Connectivity Solution by running
C:\Packages\PCCS\Setup\PCCS.msi
Don’t choose to restart if asked.

Step 5:
If you are running the 64 bit of OS then install
C:\Packages\VC80_x64\Setup\VC80_x64.msi
else install
C:\Packages\VC80_x86\Setup\VC80_x86.msi
Don’t choose to restart if asked.

Step 6: Finally Setup Nokia PC Suite by running
C:\Packages\Nokia_PC_Suite\Setup\Nokia_PC_Suite.msi

Step 7: Restart your System.
