PC Suite install freezes with "PnP Manager busy" log message

Hi,

I am trying to install Nokia PC Suite 6.86.9.0, but the installer freezes consistently at 54% progress.

It is possible to click the red "abort" button but it wont stop the installer, instead it must be killed from task manager. The process called DPINST.EXE seems to be the culprit. It leaves the following message in the C:\WINDOWS\DPINST.LOG file:

INFO: ****************************************

My system information (OS, service pack, etc. can also be seen in the log message).

Googling "PnP Manager busy" does not yield any useful information.

I have also tried cleaning my system with Nokia PC Suite Cleaner 3.6 before reinstalling but to no avail.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Best regards,
Jake

Re: PC Suite install freezes with "PnP Manager busy" log message

Finally found the solution:

The registry key
FactoryPreInstallInProgress
in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup was defined.

After deleting this key, the install went smoothly.
