Re: Failure to install latest blackberry desktop software for PC.

Same issue I ran into today, while attempting to install version 6.1.

 

Looking at the certificate it appears that the certificate path on the package isn't set.

 

It simply has "research in motion".

 

On a previous package research in motion is under Verisign Class 3 Code Signing 2009-2 CA, which is under Verisign Class 3 Public Primary CA

Hi this is the error message that I get:

"The installation files cannot be validated.Please Verify the installer package and try again."

 

It's for version 6.1, I downloaded it from the blackberry website in November 2011

Re: Failure to install latest blackberry desktop software for PC.

I still had a copy of an older package.

I re-installed the older package and was able to run an update from within the application.
