BB Desktop Manager error 1316 (windows 7) - cannot be uninstalled

Hi,
I am new to the forum, because I cannot seem to find an answer to my query anywhere.
I have a fairly new Dell laptop which has Windows 7 installed.
When I first got it, I installed BBDM on it and did a couple of back ups (so it did work at some point).
However, it now doesn't recognise my BB (Curve 8900) anymore and so I wanted to uninstall it.
In the control panel - uninstall porgramms - it didn't show up as a software, so before uninstalling the previous version, I thought, I'd over install the software again, a newer version (5.0.1) in an attempt to fix the sudden problem.
It may be worth mentioning that the PC doesn't recognise the devise either anymore, when plugging it in.
Having now installed version 5.0.1 didn't fix the problem and so I thought, okay, uninstall the whole thing and whilst this version IS now to be found in the control panel, when I start the uninstall it shows up error message 1316: A network error occured while attempting to read from the file C:\windows\installerblackberry desktop software.msi
The un-installation is then aborted.
On the BB support site it is recommended to uninstall the software (haha) and if necessary use the windows installer cleanup utility, however, at the link given, this cannot be found and when searching google it appears that that software has been pulled from the market and didn't work with windows 7 anyways.
So now I have probably two versions installed, neither of which works or can be uninstalled.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help!
(Otherwise I might be going crazy)
Thanks,
J

Can you try to remove the software by following the clean uninstallation steps listed here

I never tried using the tool on Windows 7, but you can find it here if you still want to try it

  • Memory Management Error in Windows 8.1

    please check dumpfile in this url related to memory management error in windows 8.1. This error usually occurs when i open window  media player....thanks

    These crashes were related to memory management (probably caused by a driver). 
    Please run these tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.  
    If you are overclocking (pushing the components beyond their design) you should revert to default at least until the crashing is solved. If you don't
    know what it is you probably are not overclocking.

  • Can't Install Blackberry Desktop Manager - error 1303

    Trying to install desktop manager and I get error message  "Error 1303. The installer has insufficient privileges to acces this directory: C:\Program Files\Research In Motion\Blackberry\1003. The installation cannot continue. Log on as an administrator or contact your system administrator."
    I am running Windows 7, Home Premium, SP1.
    Any ideas please?  I am the administrator.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I can find no formal reference to that error...perhaps you may have better luck searching:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
    Otherwise, I suggest this thread:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Cleanly-quot-Starting-Over-quot-with-...
    It starts with a process for cleanly starting over, and there is some discussion, and there is also a post (15) with links to older Desktop Software versions, if those are needed. Note that this is not, by any means, guaranteed to work...but it has worked for many to resolve issues they are having.
    You may need to use the actual administrator account or an account with admin rights, and/or use the Run As Administrator option.
    Good luck!

  • Problems installing Desktop Manager 6 on Windows 7

    I just got a new computer (3 weeks old now) and I wanted to set up the desktop manager. I downloaded the file from the BB site but when I get to the installer I get an errors message "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package".
    I've updated windows and tried re loading the DM but same problem...
    Would really appreciate any help.

    Which version of windows 7?
    What kind of errors do you get?
    (For example installing under windows 7 starter edition (typically on a netbook) might need some tweaking of the setup.ini file.
    I recently installed LabVIEW 8.2 under w7 enterprise 64bit without any problems.

  • Desktop Manager Problem on Windows 7

    I have DM 5.0.1.28 running on Windows 7 and I just purchased a new Bold 9000.  I am able to send/receive files to the Bold using Blue Tooth with my computer software, but am unable to sync using Blue Tooth with the DM.  I connect to the DM fine but when it tries to sync I eventually get the message, "The Desktop Manager has stopped working.  Something caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found."
    Have you heard of this?  Are you having trouble with the DM and Windows 7?
    I was a little surprised when I first plugged the Bold in that there are still are no drivers for Blue Tooth.  My device manager still does not recognize it as a BB.  This was also the case with my Curve when I was running OS Vista.  I know you can still get it done without them - but just a little surprised you sill don't provide the drivers.

  • Desktop Manager sync issues: windows closes the program

    I have Windows Vista and my BB Desktop manager is v4.5.  In the past 2 weeks I have been unable to sync my BB 8330 as windows closes the program after it compares the calendar in outlook and tells me I have an app crash.  I have read all the threads and instructions to remedy this problem, and have tried each solution, but to no avail.  I'm at a loss as to what to do now.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    I have reread the entire post and I've got to tell you I missed the most important part.
    Windows closes the program and Windows tells you there is a APPCRASH which is why there
    is no reference to it in the knowledgebase.
    Here is the correct forum: Microsoft Windows Vista Support
    We will be glad to work with you on the Blackberry program side, this is a Vista error.
    There are also many references to it on Google.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Desktop Manager Error Code: 0x80040fb3

    Recently during sync I get the subject error code.  It occurs while updating the contacts portion of the sync process, the first, so sync never completes.  Has anyone experienced this error code?  If yes, what was the fix.
    I am using Desktop Manager Ver, 5.0.1.37
    I also had set sync for Outlook to overwrite all Device information, since I had to 'restore' my Storm.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Try the tips listed here:
     KB14818 
    This issue may be caused by one of the following reasons:
    One or more of the contacts in the contact list is missing information or has invalid characters in the First, Last, or Company name fields.
    The Attendee status field cannot be read in a calendar item on Microsoft Outlook.
    Tasks were edited in Microsoft Outlook and the changes were accepted during the synchronization process.

  • Blackberry desktop manager error message

    When I install my bdm I receive an error message "Blackberry desktop manager has encountered a problem and needs to close".  It carries on installing however till the end.  When you try to open it, you get the same error message but then it opens up the application.  The problem is that it does not detect my phone at all.  I have tried every solution that I could find on the message boards - checked the USB ports (it picks up the blackberry and installs the software and charges), it is registered on the wireless network etc., etc.  I am no technician so a lot of the answers went way above my head.  I tried different versions of desktop manager but with the same result.  What am I to do?
    The error message that I get when I open up desktop manager is the following:
    C\DOCUME~1\ANNELI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\4ef7_appcompat.t​xt

    Try the following:
    Make sure your BB is not connected to the computer.
    Close the desktop manager.
    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application data
    Delete the entire Intellisync folder.
    Connect your BB and open the desktop manager.
    Sync your device.

  • Desktop manager errors and shuts down every time I try to sync my Outlook...Help!

    Well reading some other discussions i have found to try deauthirizing and reauthorizing, that didn't work. I guess i could remove iTunes and reinstall, but i hate to do that. Maybe I should take all the music off and sync and then try putting  it back on? Worked before i put music on there, but then there wasn't much to sync at that time. Anyone know of other possible causes that would make iTunes stop working?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Error 1500 - windows 8 - cannot install adobe reader

    Hello everyone,
    I have a new computer with windows 8 and tried to install adobe reader. During installation an error occured (1500) specifying that another installation is in progress. I tried through the simple installer and the one from the page http://get.adobe.com/pl/reader/completion/?installer=Reader_11.0_Polish_for_Windows. In both I get the same message. No need to mention that I am not installing anything else. As for the anti-virus programme I just noticed that my trial subscription is over so probably it is not the problem - the McAfee is not running (?). Could you please help me with this problem?
