Hi.
I was looking at the nokia pc suit website and they released a new version 6.83. I was glad because usually new versions might fix problems etc.
I downloaded the new version and i deleted my old 6.82 installer before even trying to install the new one.
When i tried to install 6.83 i found out that the installer is not accessible at all.
The buttons don't seam to have lables on them. I tried installing it with 3 screen readers without success. Supernova, jaws and NVDA.
So now i am stuck without pc suit software. on the nokia website i don't seam to find older versions.
It was very disapointing because usually pc suit was very easy to install with a standart installer.
So if you have 6.82 don't upgrade to 6.83 because the installer won't speak. I don't even know if the main software is going to be accessible now.
If anyone knows where i can get the 6.82 installer please let me know.
Thanks

Ok i found it.
But it was an adventure. lol.
The address is: http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_PC_Suite_682_rel_27_0_eng_web.msi
Now here is how i found it.
I visited other nokia websites. Asia, brasil etc. I saw that on the Brasil site they still had 6.82 but in portukees.
So i copied the address and i was trying different things with it. For example where it was saying por i replaced it with eng etc and it worked.
I had to compare it with one of the new 6.83 English addresses to see what they say for English.
To see the difference between the two here is the download from the site in Brasil.

So you can compare the two and see how i did it.
I know it wasn't the best way but i needed 6.82 and i got it lol.
And now is here for everyone who might need it.
