Hello 

 
We have now added Windows 7 support for Nokia Software Updater and would like to offer you guys a preview version before we put it out for the rest of the world. In the same release we also included the cool “What’s New” service for much more languages than previously and we improved the USB connection to be more robust.

This release candidate is almost ready to go live for all users and we only intend to keep it in Beta Labs for a couple of weeks. We don’t expect big problems, but if there are any critical improvements needed those will be included in the actual release. Smaller items will be fixed in the coming releases. Also, we would like to use this channel to gather other interesting improvement ideas. Nokia Software Updater is all about user experience in getting the latest software in a robust and convenient manner.
 
We would like to hear especially if you have any problems with the USB connection and which kind of PC hardware you used.

Try it out and let us know how you like it!

Have used it a couple of times now. No issues discovered, but since I already have the latest firmware for N97 I haven't tested the download and instalation. Just how the application runs on my PC

Win 7 Ultimate x64

I have switched all my systems to windows 7 only to find out that I now cannot update my phone.  The link tells me I am not authorized to download the beta version.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thomas

One of our engineers had this problem on WinXP when he started the installer from an external USB hard drive. When he next tried to update and the USB drive was not attached, he got this error which he does not think relates to Win7.

I tried using the version 1.8.10en on Vista 7 enterprise edition and it works fine. I have updated N97 mini using the same. It succesfually update to the N97 mini from 11.0.028 to 11.0.045. The steps i followed are used from the wiki - http://www.adfrad.com/2009/10/running-nokia-software-updater-on.html Thanks to adfrad; it perfectly works. I have downloaded the new version NokiaSoftwareUpdaterSetup_2.4.5EN; let me try to use the same on windows 7 enterprise edition and see how it works. Note - On slow connection the updater won't work so we need to have good connection with atleast 1 mb/s connecton. Its good if Nokia supports slower connection and resume of the download if connection break.

I had installed software updater 2.4.5.en for windows 7 and the install was successfull.
It even detected my N97 mini.

The problem started when i wanted to upgrade the software in the N97 mini. The current version of software i have is 11.0.028; latest avilable for my phone with my prodcut code is 11.0.045.
But when i tried to check new software using 2.4.5en; it said that "Please note that your mobile service provider, operator or carrier may nto have approved the lates Nokia device firmware avilable"; This totally wrong ans.

I checked on web "Can I update" (http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update ) which is the latest avilable for my phone (using product code) and it showed that latest version is 11.0.0.45.

I uninstalled the 2.4.5en and installed 1.8.10en  ( installed using the windows vista compatiblity mode). Tried to update the fw of my N97 mini and it showed that latest versoin avilable is 11.0.045 and i upgraded my N97 mini successfully without any issues.

looks like new version 2.4.5en has issues.. so kindly use old software
