Surprising that Blackberry Desktop Manager does not come as a regapp. I am trying to determine if it exists but the issue I have is that the exe may not be in the same location. I;m looking at finding if it exists and if so what version is it.

Here is what I have so far - they all work assuming DesktopMgr.exe is in this folder

Q: versions of files ((it & “\UserApps\Research In Motion\DesktopMgr.exe”) of (names of drives whose (type of it = “DRIVE_FIXED”) ))

A: 4.2.0.14

Q: exists (file “C:\UserApps\Research In Motion\DesktopMgr.exe”) OR exists (file “C:\UserApps\Research In Motion\DesktopMgr.exe”) whose (version of it < ")

A: True

Q: if (exists file “C:\UserApps\Research In Motion\DesktopMgr.exe”) then version of file “C:\UserApps\Research In Motion\DesktopMgr.exe” as string else “Not Installed”

A: 4.2.0.14

Hi All,

We are trying to Install “BlackBerry Desktop Manager v6.1.0 B38” on our local PC where we are able to install it silently on the PC with teh following command:

msiexec /i “C:\Users\vmanjrekar\Desktop\Blackberry\BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi” /qn

However, when we are trying to install/stage it from Bigfix, this does not work.

My relevance is as follows:

wait “__Download\setup.exe” /s /l1033 /v"/qn ALL_USERS=1 SHORTCUT_DESKTOP=1 INSTALLDIR=“c:\Program Files\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop”"

this relevant commands we have found from authorized site of Blackberry.

Hence, would like to know exact relevance as it is asking for country code also while installation

We are currently deploying desktop manager using the following:

relevance:

not exist (file (value of variable “Programfiles” of environment & “\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Desktop\Rim.Desktop.exe”)) whose (version of it <= “6.1.0.35”)

Action:

Install command:

waithidden “{pathname of system folder & “\msiexec.exe”}” /i “{(pathname of client folder of current site) & “__Download\BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi”}” /qn /norestart

We were also needed to incorporate some of the prereqs within the task prior to installation, they were done as follows:

//.NET Framework 3.5 Installation

if {name of operating system = “WinXP” and not exists key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5” of registry and not exists value whose (name of it starts with “.NET CLR 3.5”) of keys “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform” of registry}
