I have installed a Virtual XP SP3 32-Bit on an OpenSuse as host.
It runs very good but recently I tried to install the Nokia Ovi Suite and the Nokia PC Suite both unsuccessfully.
The Nokia install program does not start at all. I contacted the Nokia Support Team and they cannot explain that.
Then the XP installed on VirtualBox virtual meets all the hardware and software conditions requested. NOTE virtual satisfied !!
So I'm asking, if there are limitations in Virtual Box, that restrain installations of certain software.
Thanks in advance for helps and any suggestion

Re: Installing Nokia-Software
I probably can't help you, but I will try anyway.
I have a Samsung phone using Samsung PC suite. That's actually Nokia PC suite, branded by Samsung.
I know some users have installed that in a vm , it runs best as 32 bit on XP, so for 64 bit users, the vm solved that. However, that's not your problem!
The PC suite is designed to work with phone connected via USB, so try setting up a working usb on the guest, before installing, it might check that.
I just got a crazy idea
Try downloading Samsung PC suite from Samsung, may be that will install. As I said, it's actually Nokia, so you can probably use it (I did say 'crazy' - lol)
Not much help, I guess, but the best I could give you.
