Update: SonyEricsson have upgraded their PC Suite to support Vista. So head on over to their support page, pick your phone and download the PC Suite for XP/Vista. Works like a charm.

I have a SonyEricsson K810i phone and have been using the SonyEricsson PC Suite to syncronize it with my Outlook. For an absent minded guy like me, having my phone warn me when I have to be somewhere is invaluable.

However, Sony Ericsson has been rather slow in their Vista support. It just won't install, giving you a message that you need to run Windows XP or 2000. They say that Vista support for PC Suite will be available in Q2 2007 and on forums and blogs September 2007 is often mentioned.

But there is a way to install the PC Suite on Vista today. It involves editing the .msi file to remove the OS condition and remove two files that are updated in Vista that will cause the installer to hang.

Joel at thinktekno has the details.

I did not have to install the m-router. During the installation the installer hung for ages at the end but it came through eventually. Just have patience.
