PC Suite will not install - detects old Nokia Cable Connectivity Driver

Hello

I am trying to install the latest version of PC Suite (downloaded yesterday) as I have come back to a Nokia phone (a new 5070) after some time with another brand. However, I can't get it to install - it fails every time with a message:

"Another version of Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver has been detected. Please remove it before continuing"

Unfortunately, I can't find any way to remove the old driver, as I can't find it on my system anywhere! Even under the Windows Uninstaller, I can see an entry, but am not given an uninstall option! I suspect that I have some part left from a previous uninstall, but there now seems no way to purge it from my system.

I'm using a standard PC with Windows XP SP2

Thanks for any help - this is really frustrating!

Hi Ian

You perhaps need to go to microsoft.com and download Windows Installer Cleanip Utility "msicuu2.exe"

Go to Start > Programs > Windows Installer Cleanup Utility
When you run this it looks a bit like the add/remove program window. Now select "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and "PC Connectivity Solution" programs.

Now go back to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and try and remove "Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver" and the "PC Connectivity Solution" programs. They should now uninstall.

Reboot your PC
Happy to have helped the forum in a small way from 2007-10
