Desktop Manager software & Windows compatibility

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.
Cheers

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

Zenworks Desktop Management for Windows 7

Hello,
We are trying to figure out what is the solution for Windows 7. We are currently in a Novell environment (I believe Zenworks 7). Being unfamiliar with the Zenworks Desktop Management - can someone please explain the following to me:
We are trying to find the application launcher answer to deploying on Windows 7. Whenever I run the ZfDAgent.msi (7 agent/Zenworks Desktop Management) on a Windows 7 (Enterprise) machine, it says the following:
"The Remote Management Mirror Driver can only be installed on Windows 2000and Windows XP machines". Is there a new version of the Zenworks Desktop management software available/coming out for Windows 7?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Windows 7 is not supported on Zenworks for Desktops 7. You will need
to upgrade to Zeworks Configuration Management 10. I'm in the middle
of doing this myself right now.
Regards,
Ken
Thanks for the quick reply -- by chance have you ran across any white papers, webcasts, or documentation as to the desktop application features included with Zenworks Configuration Management 10? Such as how the application explorer/window are handled with this new version? I tried doing a search to no avail.
Thanks for any suggestions!

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!

2. i say cancel the below information, and i enter into desktop manager software by connectecing my blackberry via cable. and i start synchronizing , it synch at some point the software crashes by says desktop manager stops workings. and i need to restart the software. but it doesnt synch the calendar entries and contacts.
I also reinstalled the software, i repaired, nothing fixes my issue.
Any ideas how to fix the issue ? Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I fixed my issue by installing the desktop manager 5.0.1.28. Now i can able to synch my calendar lotus notes with blackberry device.

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.

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.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB19300 Windows Installer command line parameters information box appears when attempting to install BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
Good luck and let us know!

Installing Blackberry Desktop Manager Software

Hi,
I'm trying to install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.0 Sp1 software
onto a few PC's.
Once I've customised the setup.ini file and run "setup.exe /s" from the
local drive (or network drive), the program setup installs the software
correctly.
However, when creating a Zen App object and inserting the following in
the "Run Options" tab, all I get is the MSIEXEC options screen (same as
running msiexec.exe /?)
Path to File:
C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\Blackberry_DM_4.0Sp1.exe /s
Working Directory: C:\Setup\Blackberry_Desktop_4-0_Sp1\
Any idea why the setup works when executing from Windows Explorer, but
fails when executing from Zen App objects?
Thanks for the input...

Hi Anders,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I definitely selected the option "A Simple Application (No
..AOT/.AXT.MSI file)"
It's worth mentioning that the setup.exe file calls an MSI file called
"BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi".
That appears to be done via the setup.ini file. See below.

Desktop manager and windows 8

I have attempted to get desktop manager to work with windows 8 for months. I have ensured that I have followed various instructions including enabling .net 3.5 without success. I install the desktop manager and my computer recognises the playbook when I plug it into a usb, however, the blackberry software does not connect to the playbook. Have tried turning off avast antivirus without success.
Can anyone helpl with an alternative, please?
It works with my MAC computer but not with my windows laptop!
alun.
Thanks

I have the exact same situation, and to make it worse I can't even get the desktop manager installed, let alone work. I keep getting error message #1723. It's hard to know whether it's a Windows problem or a Blackberry problem, although if it works on your Mac I guess it's a Windows problem. I bought a new laptop and am having trouble with a lot of incompatibility problems with Windows 8.1. I'll have to revert to my old Windows 7 laptop unless someone comes up with an answer. Hopefully someone in the Community has one [fingers crossed].

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??
Solved!

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!

Desktop management crashing windows xp

it worked fine for a few days but now when i load the desktop software to transfer files from laptop to playbook i get the infamous "blue screen of death" and laptop has to reboot. is there a software update for desktop available for desktop software

I've been having the same problem. It got so bad that I rebuilt Windows XP, re-installed all my software and restored old files from an external disk drive I'd backed up to.
I'm using Windows XP SP3, and every time I try to run the Desktop Manager, I get the blue screen and then a restart.
Did you ever figure out what to do to fix this problem?

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.
