Can't get Blackberry Desktop Software to install

I am trying to install the software from the disc that came with the phone, and I have also tried downloading it and installing it that way and still no luck. I am using Windows XP.

 

I get the following:

The InstallShield Wizard pops up and says

Status: Pending    Requirement: Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 SP1

 

and when I click Install, at first it says

Status: Downloading

 

And then an error message pops up:

while downloading the file http://saturn.installshield.com/prerequisites/microsoft .net framework 2.0 sp1.prq. What would you like to do?     Retry    or    Cancel

 

If I click Retry it just does the same thing over and over again. If I click cancel, the message changes to:

An error occurred while downloading the file http:..download.microsoft.com/download/0/8/c/08c19fa4-4c4f-4ffb-9d6c-150906578c9e/NetFX20SP1_x86.exe. What would you like to do?    

Retry    or    Cancel

 

Again, Retry just repeats the message. The final message after clicking Cancel again reads:

The files for installation requirement Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 could not be found. The installation will now stop. This is probably due to a failed, or canceled download.   Yes   No

 

And then it just closes. This happens whether I try to install from the disc or from a downloaded file. What do I do?

Re: Can't get Blackberry Desktop Software to install

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!

 

It sounds as if there is a prerequisite for .Net that your system does not meet, and when attempting to obtain and install that, it is failing for some reason. I suggest you do Windows Update and install everything that your system is missing...then try the DTM install again (after a fresh reboot).

 

Good luck and let us know!

As in, there were no updates? As in, the result is precisely and exactly the same as your original post? Please let us know what the update process resulted in. BTW...you did run it multiple times, right? You are aware that sometimes, after you reboot from a Windows Update, there can still be more updates needed?

 

Please remember that we have only your words to guide us...we can assume nothing. We cannot see what you see nor hear what you hear. We depend on your details and explicitness to help us to help you. Otherwise it's no good for anyone.

 

Let us know.

I updated, there are no more updates available, and my results in trying to download the software are the same.
