Error installing Nokia PC Suite 5.8 - 6.2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi,alt.cellular.nokia (More info?)

MSI is the installer technology. Nokia doesn't know the meaning of support.
If they cared, they might actually be paying attention to the Nokia forums
and at least provide indirect responses via their website or improving their
truly shitty software. I'm sorry this doesn't help you. But you should call
them and either ask where it says that only DELL is supported, or just lie
to them.

Thanks. I'm trying to track down what the installer is attempting to read at
this point so that I can narrow down the reason for the conflict on my
machine.
