How about after loading the OS, after you reload the OS on your PC you'll get this folder.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8300-v4.2.2.89_P2.4.0.39

You should delete the vendor.xml from here
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

I have no shared folder either... the same situation as BRGFather. I have everything installed correctly... any help would be appreciated.

I repeat, if you have correctly installed by executing the downloaded Handheld software exe file, you will find the folder in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared path. If you do not have the shared folder you have not properly executed the handheld software file. Desktop manager is not the handheld software.

Sorry, but that's the way it is.

cizake - what exactly is contained in the zip file?

I repeat. I have CORRECTLY installed the handheld software. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\
then the following folders are my choices:
apploader
modem drivers
rim device manager
usb drivers

Are they 'shared' by default since most of the other folders in the common files folder say shared (for example, Microsoft Shared, Sonic shared) but not the RIM folder.

This list is indicative of a correctly insstalled desktop manager. What is the complete filename for the handheld software you installed?

liltiki - as rcbjr has noted repeatedly, you have download the desktop manager for your device, not the operating system.

2 modified files:

blackberry.alx
platform.alx

No vendor at all on blackberry.alx and vendor 220 on platform.alx.

Rcbjr - You say " if you have correctly installed by executing the downloaded Handheld software exe file, ... Desktop manager is not the handheld software. " Can you help this newbie out with what the Handheld Software is? I have the install disk from ATT/Cingular in my computer and don't see anything other than the Desktop software. I am not familiar with the Handheld Software - where to download it, what it does, etc. It seems that this is the 'missing link' in this thread right now?
