Efforts to use, repair, and uninstall Blackberry desktop software failed. Help?

I upgraded from XP to Windows 7, and had to reinstall the Blackberry Desktop software.  I'm looking for help to get it working.  I've installed version 6.0. i'm on Curve 8330 (Verizon).  Below describes mt efforts:
When I run the desktop software, I click "organizer', and then I connect the BB and wait unti the bottom right of the BB desktop software says "connecting...' then "sync".  i then click the "configure settings..." and get a pop-up window titled "blackberry data synchronization" with message "operation in progress.  please wait".  The pop-up window self-disappears. It reappears every time I click the "configure settings..." button.  However, this has run for hours.  The software appears to be stuck in some sort of infinite loop.
So, I tried to repair the software as follows: Start - Control panel - programs and features - blackberry desktop software 6.0 - Next - Next (Repair is checked) - Install.   I get a window titled "blackverry desktop software 6.0" that reads "The feature you are trying to use is on a netword resource that is unavailable.  Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate parth to a folder containint the installation package 'blackverry desktop software.msi' in teh box below.  Use source: C:\Users\Jim\AppData\Local\Temp\WZSE0.TMP\
.  I clock ok and try agin and get the message "the path 'c:\users\myname\appdata\local\temp\wzse0.tmp\blackberry desktop software.msi' cannot be found.  verify that you have access to this location and try agin, or try to find the installation package 'blackberry desktop software.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product blackberry desktop software 6.0'  I am unable to find this file on my computer, but "windows search" has been less than 100% successful for me in Windows 7.  So, I clicked "cancel", and get the following message: "error 1706. No valid source could be found for product blackberry desktop software 6.0.  the windows installer cannot continue. So. I click "finish".
So, I try to uninstall the software altogether as followstart - Control panel - programs and features - blackberry desktop software 6.0 - Next - Next (REMOVE is checked) - Next ("Remove all user settings for Blackberry desktop software" is checked.) - Remove.  I then get the following message: "error 1316.  A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:\windows\installer\blackberry desktop software.msi".  When I click "ok" to this window - I see "rolling back action" status bar. I then click "finish".
So,my efforts to use the software, repair the software, and uninstall the software have failed.  Any advice?
I see no "blackberry desktop software.msi" in the c:\windows\installer\ folder.  I am able to view hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools  Folder options... - View tab - "show hidden files, folders, and driver" is selected".
I'll restart my windows search index tonight.

Thank you Viciousferret,
I re-downloaded the the 600_b047_multilanguage.exe to my PC using thelink you provided.  I then ran it.  I then did the following:
selected "NExt",
then "REMOVE" (the options were "repair" and "remove", not "modify" or "uninstall"), then NEXT,
then checked "remove all user settings for blackberry desktop software".  then NEXT
then the REMOVE button
then FINISH
So, it appears the uninstall was successful. 
The next step of your suggestion was to: "Then proceed with the clean uninstall by performing all the steps: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206"  This link provides 5 tasks. 
1) The first task includes instructions to ": Uninstall BlackBerry Desktop Software".  Should I skip this step because I already did it above?  If not, would you please provide the instructions for Windows 7?  Only instructions for other operating systems are shown here.
2) The second task is to "remove computer registry entries".  The fifth step gives instructions for XP, Vista and 7 64-bit.  i use Windows 7 (32-bit).  Are you able to provide the instructions for Windows 7?  Also, the instructions to back up the registry are: "select My Computer (or Computer in Windows Vista) at the top of the folder structure, click File, and choose Export to export the file to your preferred location.'.  When i select start then Computer and then click File (after verifying the "Computer" is highlighted in theWindows Explorer window, I am not presetned with an opportunity to click "Export'.  My options are 'add a network location", 'create shortcut (greyed out), "delete", "rename", "properties" and "close".  Are you able to provide additional guidance as to how i am failing see "export" when i seemingly follow these instructions?
3) Step 3 gives instructions for deletig folders from teh computer.  It also lacks instructions for Windows 7.  Are you able to provide them?
4) Step 4 provides a link to follow.  that link also lacks instructions for Windows 7 (32-bit).  Would you be able to provide instructions for Windows 7 (32-bit) users?

  • Blackberry Desktop Software Failed to validate your blackberry device

    Blackberry 8310 was running slow.  The people at the ATT store said I need to update the software.  Downloaded the newest version to the desktop and when I tried to upload it to the phone received the following message
    "Blackberry Desktop Software Failed to validate your blackberry device update"
    "Aborting install due to validation failure.  Some packages contained unsatisfied dependencies"
    I am sure others have seen it.  What do I need to do.  Thanks  Mike

    Glad to hear.  I just did this again last night, and I think I've isolated the specific program that causes the problem, but I can't be sure. 
    I think it's "Documents To Go". 
    People might try deleting just that one program first in Options > Applications > Add-Ons if they didn't want to delete everything else too.  It's worth a shot.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Blackberry desktop software modem help?

    So here's the story: I formatted my laptop lost BDS, tried reinstalling but failed, eventually copied the whole blackberry desktop software folder from another pc to mine.
    But that didn't fix my problem since it didn't detect my device so I ran over to blackberry's site and downloaded the usb and modem drivers. I installed them and yay it detects my phone (after I manually run blackberry device manager). Now the problem lies with the modem configuration (the whole reason why I got the desktop software in the first place) when I press the mobile internet button it takes me to the mobile internet settings but nothing happens, there is just a green circle loading icon to the right of the profile option. It doesn't do anything and I can't chose any settings I did wait for 20 mins but still nothing.
    Please help

    Hey CrimsonCloud,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    First thing I would suggest is performing a clean uninstall of BlackBerry® Desktop Software.  Follow all of the steps in this KB article: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02206
    Then restart your PC and go to www.blackberry.com/desktop to download the latest version of BlackBerry Desktop Software and install the software.  If you receive any errors, please let me know the exact error message.
    Once installed, restart the PC and when the computer is up and running, connect your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9300 smartphone via USB and it should install drivers.
    Once you get a notification saying the drivers are now installed, open BlackBerry Desktop Software and then try to setup your tethering.
    Let me know if you have any mroe questions.
    Cheers.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Software failed to validate your BlackBerry device update - Aborting install due to validation failure. Some packages contained unsatisfactory dependencies.

    I have a Bold 9900 and using Blackberry Desktop Software on Mac.
    How do I deal with this problem?
    Thank you.

    I tried this method already. The problem is that there is no such thing as 'BlackBerryDesktop' but instead I just have 'BlackBerry'. And also, there are no 'Logs' either.

  • P205 S6267 problem uninstalling blackberry desktop software error 2738

    I have been using Blackberry (BB) desktop software on my laptop to connect with my BB Curve 8320 (version 4.5.0.81)
    When trying to syncronize with Windows calendar (running vista home premium with sp2) i encountered a problem where the calendar info on the blackberry was sync'd to windows but 16 hours earlier.
    I was told by the helpful BB support people at T-mobile that i needed to download version 6.1 of the BB desktop software as this would fix the problem.
    i downloaded and installed (they omitted to add that i should have uninstalled version 4.5 before!).
    I now have desktop software that still shows version 4.5...... when i open it up. consequently i tried to uninstall using control panel. In control panel it shows version 6.1, but will not uninstall giving me error message 2738    "could not access VB script run time for custom action"
    Also tried uninstalling using ccleaner, same result.
    Any ideas out there???
    Thanks

  • Blackberry Desktop software fails to update v7.1.0.42 (The lastest version)

    Hi,
    I have been unable to update/upgrade my Blackberry destop software to the latest v.7.1.0.42. I have downloaded the installer from the official blackberry website. During installation, an error message pops up saying something about a missing .dll file, or what-not, and that the missing file is critical to the update. Thus, the installation process just rolls back.
    Can someone, please, help with this challenge.
    By the way, I use a Windows 7 laptop computer.

    Hello Glassroys,
    To better assist you with this issue can you please provide the full error message you receive?
    Thank you.

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Also check on conflicting software...it has been reported that the software package NTI Shadow&Ninja can cause a conflict; removing them and reinstalling the BB desktop software allows it to install correctly.
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these. Also apologies if any are not presently available...RIM takes them up and down at will as they revise things.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software freezes at message "Action Engine Loading Configurat​ion"

    I have Windows 7 Professional. My Outlook profile is saved on an Exchange server and my Blackberry had previously beeng syncing with Outlook in this setup for nearly a year without issue. 
    Recently, the desktop software freezes at "Action engine loading configuration" message and is unrecoverable. I have tried the following things to rectify the situation:
    1) Adjust the organizer settings not to sync anything except the date & time. Still happens
    2) Delete all data from the device using Desktop Software and try to resync. Same problem
    3) Uninstall and reinstall Blackberry Desktop Software and try to sync with both the original set of data and the empty, deleted data Blackberry. Same problem.
    4) Tried wiping the blackberry completely using JL Cmdr, reinstalling the OS. In this scenario I can sync Addresses but once I sync Calendar the problems happens again and I am unable to ever sync it again (Including thereafter when de-selecting the Calendar option. 
    At this point I have spent hours scouring Google for help and trying the above items. This has been disastrous for me as I rely on the sync'd data for work and have already starting missing things. 
    I don't believe there is anything wrong with the Blackberry, as it works fine and works perfectly well after re-loading a fresh, OS, etc. 
    I have tried playing with the support logs but because the software freezes before calendar can sync, nothing is in the log that states if there is a corrupt record in calender causing this. Nothing dramatically changes in my calendar between the day that syncing worked and the day it didnt.
    I've tried searching the Blackberry forums and have found some info but nothing helpful. RIM does not provide support telephone numbers and AT&T support has continuously demonstrated itself as worthless over my time with them. 
    Is there any resources left at all that I could try to get past this issue, not waste any more time, and be able to resolve the issue?
    Thank you for reading and for any input you are willing to offer.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had a Dell PalmPilot type device in 2003 that sync'd contnously with my computer using ActiveSync. I didn't ever have to click Sync, I would make a change on either device and they would sync. 
    The fact that it is 2011 and we still work with Desktop Manager, the biggest piece of **bleep** software I still have to use, is simply pathetic.

  • Removing Applications from BlackBerry Desktop Software: After deleting the app the app name still shows in BBDS

    Hello, 
    I have installed multiple 3-rd party applications on my phone through the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. I am attempting to remove certain applications from the list.
    Here is what I experience:
    I click on Applications icon.  BBDS communicates with the phone and then displays a list of native applications. I click on Install/Remove button. A list of third party applications are displayed. I de-select an application and the hit Start. The phone is restarted. I can confirm that the application is removed from my phone, however, the application name is still displayed under Install/Remove applications. I even clicked on the app and highlighted the application but there is no option to remove the app from the list. When I click on Edit the delete option is disabled. My goal is to remove the 3rd party application from the list completely. Please help!
