BlackBerry Desktop Software Installation issue

Hi All,
I have tried to Upgrade BlackBerry Desktop Manager from 3.6 to 4.7 version, and it is successfully upgrade to BlackBerry version 4.7. But the issue is, it shows both version in Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs.
Note: After installation rebooted the PC
Example:
Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs --> Currently installed Programs
BlackBerry Desktop Manager 3.6
BlackBerry Desktop Software 4.7
Kindly some please advice. Thanks... Shiva

the shortcut startup is the thing that adds (or not) the shortcut in the Startup menu, but the Desktop Manager starting at Windows start is stored in the registry.
I didn't bother to do all that, there is a clear option when you install the desktop manager that asks for automatic startup & automatic upgrade. I don't remember at which point (it's a shame, because I installed it less than 3 weeks ago and have already forgotten ! not eating enough fish), but it's there.
besides, I believe you can untick the option later, maybe in the Device Manager that is next to the windows clock.

BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open

Purchased BlackBerry today.
BlackBerry Desktop Software installs from distribution disc but then fails to open. Can see it in Windows Task Manager>Processes, as follows:
Windows Task Manager>Processes
Image Name: DesktopMge.exe CPU: 00 Mem Usage: 7,764 K

I UNISTALLED previous installation of BlackBerry Desktop Software, including user settings.
Downloaded and installed the installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, but with same result. Uninstalled it, too.
As suggest elsewhere in this forum, I made directory as follows: C:\INSTALL\Blackberry
Then extracted the downloaded installation file for BlackBerry Desktop Software version 4.7, “470_b050_english.exe”, into it.
Then started installation by clicking on “BlackBerrySetup.exe”.
However, the result is the same, as described above. BlackBerry Desktop Software installs but then fails to open.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to make this software work.
Is there alternative software available?

Not enough virtual memory to run applications after Blackberry Desktop software installation

Hi,
I've an issue with Blackberry Desktop Software application, after installing it (versions 4.7) my laptops cannot open more applications after certain time, even you cannot open the Start menu or any other kind of window, it just shows a little box as it is trying to show the windows but does not have enough resources to complete the drawing; I have to close some windows to open another, I mean I can have opened only a certain numbers of applications.
I uninstalled the BBDS and I've the problem still, the only way to solve it, was formatting my laptop, after a time I though 5.0 version could has resolved this issue, so I installed it with my fresh laptop and happened the same behavior, in this moment the BBDS has uninstalled 3 months and the have problem yet.
I think the installation modify some windows registry that in some way disallow to free up memory, or does not inform to window there is enough memory ro tun another applications.
I noticed when increasing the Virtual memory I can have more applicationes opened but it is few.
I really apreciate any suggestion,
Thanks,
Model: Lenovo T60
RAM: 1GB RAM
Windows XP SP3 (it has latest available patches)
Virtual Memory configured from 1.5Gb to 3GB

Blackberry Desktop Software Installation Problem

I had a problem with Roxio Media Manager continuously wanting to reinstall. So I fixed that problem and and uninstalled the Blackberry software. I then tried to re-install the Blackberry Desktop software so I can syncronize my contacts on my home computer. I have tried this from a downloaded version 4.6 and with the version on my Blackberry CD. Same problem with both.
The install starts and asks for language, then the install starts for a couple of seconds. Then I get this message:
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable.
I can't get past this message. It does not say where the log file location is. Other software installs, it is only Blackberry software that will not install. I tried renaming CProgram Files\Common files\Installshield and making it read/write, but this install still fails with the same message.
Any ideas to try? Anywhere else that I can go for help?

Thanks, that worked.
I unzipped the file, then I opened a cmd window and manually ran msiexec with your Blackberry msi file. I added a /L flag to put the logfile into a local logfile.txt file and everything went fine.
Perhaps you are specifying a problematic log file name, at least for my computer?
Anyway, this new version of Blackberry software works fine for keeping my home contacts up-to-date with my work contacts. I'm glad I was able to install it without the Roxio media manager. That program was driving me crazy.

Blackberry desktop software installer forcing into various other applications.

I have never had a Blackberry but this program/virus is on my computer and has been making my life rather difficult. Every time a run program on my computer this pop-up comes up. "Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1.....The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.......Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Blackberry Desktop Software.msi' in the box below." This pop-up open along with everything i open on my computer. I usually just close it every time. Idk why this virus is on my computer but it needs to go. It is not an installed program on my computer. It's not even in regestry editor. But it persists in being present with everything I do.

GPO Deployement of Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1 fail with the following error: user cancelled installation

Hello everybody,
I get an issue when i try to deploy the latest version of Blackberry Desktop Software using a Group Policy Objetc.
The package tries to install a the computer's startup but i can't find the product installed.
On the event viewer and after a rsop.msc i get the following error: User cancelled installation
I worked threw this link http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Desktop-Software-for-PC/Unable-to-install-Blackberry-Desktop-... and i installed vcredist_x86 and msxml6 on the client computer but the problem is still the same.
Could anyone help me for this issue.
Over simple way to solve my problem would be to let me know where i can download an older version of Blackberry Desktop Software because there is a link on the website but it doesn't work.

Well folks. I've had enough.
The 9780 is a great phone, it's easy to use, practical and dependable. However, the Desktop Manager software has been giving me too many sleepless nights. On two occassions I must add: once at the end of last year when I bought it and only managed to solve it by myself after 4 weeks of trawling through online forums, blogs and other BB help sites and the recent one was last week when I tried to install it on my new Windows 7 notebook.
I know this is not entirely the fault of RIM, Microsoft also has a part to play. But considering the state of technology these days, it shouldn't have to be so difficult. I want a phone and software that makes my life easier and not have to be a slave to it by trying days and nights to solve its problems.
Hence, I have officially decom my phone and gotten an iPhone 4 instead. The switch ain't that difficult for me as I have always been platform neutral. As long it fits my needs, does it job well and doesn't give me too much headache, I'm cool with it.
Ciao folks!

Blackberry desktop software 6.0 icon issue

I had successfully installed the Blackberry desktop software 6.0 on my work computer. It was working beautifully, until suddenly a few weeks ago it just stopped working. I uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop software. Yet when I click on the shortcut, it keeps coming up with this message: "Blackberry Desktop software has stopped working." It is so frustrating as no one seems to know what the problem is. Can someone help me?

Hey Renatas
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I'd like to provide some assistance and have a few questions
Does the Desktop Software open when the device is not connected?
Is this only happening from the short cut and have you tried opening the software from start menu > all programs > BlackBerry?

Blackberry Desktop software destination folder issue

My company has created a personal profile on my laptop. They have a preset limit as to the size of that profile. When that profile size has been exceeded, I can neither shut down or log off my computer until I go in and delete enough files to get below the limit.
One of the folders in that profile is C:/documents and settings/rangel/Application Data (rangel in my profile name).
Well, when I install the Blackberry Desktop software on my machine, it automatically loads the software into Application Data without asking me where I want to save it. Also, every time I connect my phone to sync, a file called Loader Cache is created and causes me to exceed my profile space.
I've already gone into the desktop software and changed the folder destination for my Backup and Organizer data, but it won't allow me to change the destination folder for anything else.
I can't just go into Windows Explorer and "cut and paste" these folders because the software won't find them the next time I connect my phone. I don't know enough about the folders to just delete them and what issues deleting them causes. Unfortunately, however, I really have no other choice. I have to go in and manually delete the folders and then the next time I connect my phone, my profile space is exceeded again.
Does anyone know of a way that I can change the destination folder for my desktop software files (other than Backup and Oranizer data)???
Thanks!

Installation of Blackberry Desktop Software fails: looking for Blackberry 8310.msi file

I cannot successfully install and use any version of the Blackberry Desktop software. The problem started when I tried to install the desktop software on my new computer from a file I downloaded and stored on an external hard drive that had been attached to my old computer. The install/uninstall programs lists Blackberry desktop 4.2.2. It appeared to install correctly, but when I try to use it, I get a message saying the program is trying to use a network resource that is not available, and looks in a temp directory for this "Blackberry 8310.msi" file. There is also a program listed as "Blackberry v4.2.2 for the 8310 series wireless handheld" When I try to uninstall it, it looks for that same .msi file.
I'd like to be able to sync my calendar with my phone.
Does anyone know what I should do? I followed the clean uninstall directions, and that didn't make a difference.
Thanks.

Xandrex, I am having the same problem (along with a few others). I hate to sound like a novice, but how do I decompress into a folder other than temp? Whether installing from the website, or saving to my desktop and then installing, it unzips without giving me a choice of where to put the files.
Hello,
I don't have the install at home so my answer will be approximate. when you get the .exe file, it is in fact a zip file with a small launcher that knows it has to unzip the stuff in your temp file.
What you need is a decompression tool to decompress without that launcher. You can install 7Zip that is quite good for those things.
You can also try WinZIP or winRAR or winACE but those are not free-of-charge.
http://www.7-zip.org/
Once you have installed this tool, just open 7Zip and browse to the .exe file. click on it, there should be a button "Extract". Choose a folder (somewhere on your Desktop for example) and wait for the decompression to finish.

Problem with Blackberry Desktop Software 4.3 Installation

Hi - I downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software 4.3.   The exec is called:  430_b025_english.exe
When I run the exec I receive an error:
ERROR 1327.Invalid Drive E:\
However I have no Drive E attached.
What should I do? Please help and thank you in advance.

Yes you would choose the bottom option (either blackberry internet service, or setting p a personal email account). You can still use the software to sync with an email clinet on your computer.

Blackberry desktop software non vede profilo outlook 2013

BlackBerry Desktop Software, ver. 7.1.0.37 del 13/12/2012 (pacchetto 39)
BalckBerry Torch 9860, ver. soft. 7.1 pacchetto 2061
Outlook 2013 di Office Home and Business 2013 64 bit (installato da aggiornamento Office 2010 64 bit)
Windows 8 64 bit
Premetto che fino a ieri, prima dell'aggiornamento da Office 2010 a Office 2013, tutto andava regolarmente.
Con l'aggiornamento il Desktop Software di Rim non riconosce più Outlook 2013 come programma di posta predefinito (nonostante che sia come tale impostato sia in Outlook che in pannello di controllo di Windows).
Nel tentativo di impostazioni della sincronizzazione non consente di selezionare il Profilo Outlook in quanto mostra la lista profili come vuota.
Il profilo di Outlook è unico "Outlook", e presente nella visualizzazione in pannello di controllo per le impostazioni Outlook.
Si è già tentato il "ripara" della installazione di Office, con "cambia" dall'Installa (come anche citato su altre discussioni in merito a errori simili però con altre versioni di abbinamento)
Si è già disinstallato e ri installato Desktop Software di Rim.
Come dichiarazione esplicita la versione di dicembre 7.1 di desktop cita fino alla versione Outlook 2010, davo però scontato che trattandosi di una interoperabilità su aspetti che pensavo standardizzati fosse trasparente.
Altro messaggio di errore riconduceva alla mancata attivazione di "Redemption".
Dopo alcune ricerche sembrerebbe più un problema di Desktop che di sistema Office.
Vi è qualche modo, anche operando sul registro di sistema, di riallineare il tutto ?
Si sa se verrà in futuro mantenuto il supporto di sincronizzazione con Outlook sia in BlackBerry Desktop Software che in BlackBerry Link ?
Grazie
Saluti
Roberto Pierini

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Interesting...I actually cannot determine at all why it ever worked for you...the Desktop Software is not compatible with Outlook 2013...refer:
KB12268 Synchronization support for BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
Unless it's Outlook that got upgraded? You were not clear about exactly what was upgraded...but, if it was Outlook, then that would indeed explain it...the upgrade took you to a version of Outlook that is not supported.
Good luck and let us know!

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop

Blackberry Desktop Software installed, but not on start menu or icons on desktop
I got a new laptop Windows 7. I installed Blackberry Desktop apparently successfully. However, doesn't appear on start menu nor desktop.

Hey tgcraighead,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
After the installation did you restart the computer? If you go into Control Panel>Programs and Features do you see BlackBerry Desktop Software listed in the applications?
Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
"The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

Hi choochoo2,
Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.
