Can't repair or uninstall Desktop Manager Software

I'm trying to uninstall Desktop Manager 5.0.1 ,  When I tried to uninstall using the typical Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel, it appears the following error:
"Could not access VBScript run time for custom action"
How can I repair or uninstall the Desktop Manager??

Am experiencing the same problem.  I recently upgraded to Desktop Software 5.0.1 and somehow never properly uninstalled v4.2.  I now have both on my system and am getting an annoying Roxio Message, each time I start my computer, which only started after this upgrade.  I have tried repeatedly to uninstall version 4.2.  It goes thru the process, but at the end I get the following message:
Error 1316.A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file C:\Windows\Installer\Blackberry Desktop Software's
I have complete Administrator authority, so that is not a reason.
The new 5.0 Desktop Software is working fine, but again, I think this Roxio pop up installer message is related to either not properly installing 4.2 or having multiple DM on my computer.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Given what you describe, I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove all device OS update packages from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall any and all versions of the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
You may further need to dig for and remove anything that is remotely Roxio...those can be somewhat hard to find at times.
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
If you don't really need Media Manager, then don't grab the version with it.
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again.
Good luck and let us know!

  • Can't uninstall, modify, or repair Desktop Manager Software...Help Before I get Fired!

    PLEASE HEEELLLPPPP BEFORE I GO CRAZY!!! I'm actually trying to uninstall Desktop Manager 4.5 and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the software to uninstall because, I suspect, it was originally extracted to a Temp folder that was deleted. Now, I can't use the typical Add/Remove Programs to remove, repair or modify DM becuase I get various errors from can't find the Blackberry Desktop Manager.msi file to error 1304 (or 1317 or 2330) saying Error getting file attributes c:\program files\research in motion\isti connectors\isgroupwise6.5x\1033 Get Last Error:23. I even tried to just delete the Research in Motion folder and that didn't even work because it had some problem with the .ico file! When I tried to navigate to the 1033 folder a message saying that the file folder needed to be formatted which in turn tries to format my WHOLE C: DRIVE! This issue is affecting my career actually. I have to convert my personal BIS BB to a corporate liable BES BB and have to use the corporate approved DM version 4.3 and since I can't get rid of 4.5 this could be a REAL PROBLEM WITH MY EMPLOYER!!! Any ideas would be so appreciated you don't even know!

    Based on your error messages it sounds like you might have a hard drive that is failing.
    I would tend to agree. You might want to run a chkdsk c: /f on the drive in an attempt to at least get things semi stable. If you sill cannot uninstall the app, you can attempt to reinstall it again to allow it to repopulate the areas where there were problems (assuming it will allow you to reinstall or repair by running the installer). If that works then you can attempt to uninstall it.
    From the urgency in your post I'm under the impression you are looking for things to try, I would probably try this as a last resort step.
    If everything works successfully, get a new drive and rebuilld. disk problems seem to have a tendency to return at the worst time.

  • Calendar as part of Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

    Hi All,
    It would be a good idea to have the BB Calendar as part of Blackberry Desktop Manager Software, so appointments could be entered on the PC and then sync with a BB or the other way about.
    I don't have an enterprise server, just plain old MS Outlook on my PC.
    Regards,
    Leslie.

    Hello,
    As what I assume to be a business strategy, RIM specifically does not provide a PIM/Organizer with their software. Rather, they provide conduits to various PIMs so that the user has a choice as to which PIM they prefer. See this matrix for which PIMs are supported by different versions of the RIM DTM software:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB12268&sliceId=1&docTy...
    BES is not required in order to sync a calendar to a BB. You can indeed sync, with the tools available today, bi-directionally calendar, contacts, email, etc. etc. etc.

    Hello, I have a BB Tour that I use through Verizon.   I also have a BB bold 9000 that I use for work with another carrier.   Can I use the original destop manager software for both or do I /can I run the software for both on the same computer? 

    Yes, you can. Desktop Manager will know, when connected, which device it is you have connected.

  • 8530 Desktop Manager Software Updated on 3/7/2013 killed my calendar link

    Since January 2010, my then-brand new 8530 Curve synched perfectly and beautifully with my Outlook Express calendar.  As of 3/7/2013, some automatic update to my Desktop Manager Software blew the whole thing up.  Now, whenever I connect my Curve to my PC, the PC reboots.  We can't even get an error message, the reboot is instantaneous. 
    Have checked everything else (promise), and I've had my computer geek (who is excellent and who built my computer and my network) and various other tech wizards all tell me the same thing:  I need to get BACK to version 6.0.0 something something Desktop Manager software and download that back to my PC, then stop all automatic updates.  They, and I, have collectively spent three full days trying to accomplish this, which led to this forum and all of you.  PLEASE help!
    Details:  From my Blackberry, the following:  8530 v 5.0.0.1030 (Bundle 1675, Platform 4.2.0.451)
    PC is Windows XP operated.
    What else does anyone need to know?  THANKS SO MUCH!  In return, can talk horses and/or law for hours in one-to-one chats in gratitude!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    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.
    Good luck!

  • New BlackBerry Desktop Manager software for Mac

    Let me know if there is a better "BlackBerry" forum to ask these questions -- but just wondering if this software will backup Address Book on my Mac to my BlackBerry without erasing everything I've already entered into the Blackberry by hand the past 2 years...
    ...also we have the Enterprise (corporate account) BlackBerry license (BB 8820) - if I use the newly released BlackBerry Desktop Manager software will that make a real mess of things or is it compatible.
    Thanks for any comments or references to other forums or such. I come here because everything I've done with computers since 1989 is MAC - and this is a great discussion site-- and yet my latest job is using BB's... (and most others are on PC's...)
    Saturday 3 October 2009

    As far as screwing things up, mine went fine. There were some comments about problems. If you go to crackberry. com, there is a Mac users area, under Forums/Blackberry Operating Systems and Desktop Managent.

  • Desktop Manager software & Windows compatibil​ity

    I've downloaded the latest BlackBerry Desktop Manager software, paired the the Blackberry and desktop and as soon as I press the Synchronise button I get a message from telling me that the Desktop Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close, plus do I want to tell Microsoft about this problem.
    Has anyone come across this before and is there an easy solution?
    Working off WIndows XP Pro.

    What version of DM?
    Try downloading and install the latest verson, 4.6, withOUT the media manager.

  • Can't install or uninstall Desktop software and Roxio Media Manager has taken over

    I had been having trouble with the Blackberry Desktop software crashing each time I closed it when I was done using it. This morning when I booted my computer I got an error message that said RoxWatchTray9 was unable to locate component. When I tried to close that box it attempted to install something but it just stalls. When I close try to cancel it just freezes. After while it tries to install again only to freeze again.
    I figured the best solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the program but when I went into Add/Remove I discovered six listings for Blackberry Device Software for Blackberry 9530 smartphone, one for v5.0 and five for v4.7.0. I finally managed to uninstall the v5.0 at the top of the list but I can't remove the other five. I also can't reinstall the program. Roxio Media Manager continues attempting to force an install and is hogging my system resources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Try this process (you might have to do step 2 multiple times for each instance of what is showing in add/remove programs):
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/WIN7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.

    Hopefully that will get things going again. You might also want to avoid Media Manager unless you really really need it.

  • Can't uninstall Desktop Manager 5.0.1.

    Hello,
    I'm trying to uninstall the DM v5.0.1 on my Windows 7 machine. Following the usual uninstall procedure (remove programs on the control panel), I get an error stating that "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed'.
    Have tried some third party uninstallers but all failed...
    I need to uninstall the DM to be able to upgrade to OS6 on my 9700 Bold
    (apploader finds traces of DM v5.0.1 and won't continue untill DM 5.0.1 is removed...)
    appreciate the help to get rid of the DM 5.0.1. or to upgrade to OS6 on my bold without using the apploader
    Tom.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, this all helps to understand, thanks.
    Have you tried this method below to install the device OS software?
    Honestly, for me, this is about the only method I do use, as it is much cleaner and simpler for me and I get more control over the upgrade process.
    First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
    1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
    1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.

  • Can't find Desktop Manager Software

    I don't have my original disk anymore.  I just upgraded my Alltel 8130 to ver. 4.5 from 4.3 on a new computer, but BBDMS did not load on my computer.  The upgrade only loaded files in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion" for the upgrading loader.  I thought BBDMS would show up when my 8130 OS was upgraded.  How can I get this program?

    You can download the latest version of Desktop Manager here:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Some suggestions.
    First, download the English Version Without Media Manager (61 Mb) instead of the version with Media Manager (192 Mb). Aside from the obvious difference in download side, Media Manager has problems with Vista and any other Roxio software you might have installed, and not worth the installation space (over 200 Mb after installation).
    Second, the EXE you download is actually a self extracting Zip file. Use WinZip or other file unarchiver to extract the file to an empty directory, then run BlackBerrySetup.exe from that directory to install Desktop Manager. If you don't, you'll eventually lose the MSI Setup file and be unable to use Add/Remove Programs (Program Features in Vista) to change your setup.
    Good luck.

    Sounds like your downloaded install of Desktop Manager is corrupt. Try downloading it again. Also, make sure that when you install it on Vista you right click on the installer and select Run as Administrator.
