I followed Niel's instructions, but also got the msxml error. I was able to solve this one by searching for the folder where it installs these files, and chang its ownership. The folder is a system folder under Windows, I don't recall the name of it. You have to change the ownership from System/Trusted Installer, to admin/yourself. Then you have to give yourself full control. This allowed these files to be copied in.
I also copied the existing msxml files in this folder out before I installed, just to make sure it wouldn't overwrite these files and was copying new (but more outdated) ones in. I don't think this step is necessary, however.
Well, the install went to almost the end before I got error messages stating that it failed to register several DLL's. The installiation finished, however, without rolling back. I've heard that you can manually register a DLL with Regsvr32, but I haven't tried this yet.
When I start the application it gives an error message about a configuration file or something not being able to load. This is no doubt caused by the missing DLL's. Anyway, this seems like a futile cause. Even i f I successfully register these DLL's and by some miracle the application launches, I believe that I still need drivers for my USB Cabled Sony Ericsson Z500 phone. The PC Suite alone does not contain these drivers correct?

ok, now that I have my new vaio (the most powerful one ever built apparantly!  ) and everything has installed first time except SE suite!
I called SE support today who said 10 times in one minute that vista is not supported and reaffirmed several times that they had no idea when pc suite would be compatible with vista.
But... then I remembered this thread and decided to give it a go and so now I wanna take time to thank:
Illidian for his initial post
neilbcool for his version of Illidian's post which made a little more sense to me
jsmills for the final clue that got this going for me
good work guys!

Well if you got it working from the three sources, why don't you create a guide to help us all out Mr. Smarty Pants? |

Hi there,
Thanks for the posts
I've followed the install procedure as per the posts, worked well.
I can backup, use filemanager.
But 
I'm getting an error message when I try to sync -
"Sync controller module has stopped working"
Could it be Office 2007?
Cheers

have you done this yourself?
that seems to be for windows mobile devices and I dont see any mention of how it can help with non windows mobile devices?
must admit that I haven't seen that before but it looks useful for WM devices

I've not been able to install PC Suite on Vista yet not even following the very helpful advice posted by others. Does this new method mean that I will be able to or has it not altered the fact that error messages crop up and PC Suite uninstalls?

Hi guys,
Spending about an hour on this, I have managed to hack the drivers for all phones that are supported by SE PC Suite out of the installation program. I have them available in zip format. From what I can tell, its the programs that come with PC Suite that are incompatible with Vista, not the drivers.
However, all is not lost, if you attach your phone, install the drivers provided and then download and install a great tool compatible with a few SE fones called MyPhoneExplorer (available from http://www.fjsoft.at/en/ ), then you can have all of the features of SE PC Suite and more, without the hassle.
If you would like to have the drivers, please email me :

Hope this helps folks.
