I just spent most of a morning trying to figure out why the Blackberry software installer installs the Palm desktop manager instead of the Blackberry desktop manager. After extirpating anything related to palm on my drives and in the registry, including anything containing the words “fist” or “frond” just to be sure, I finally moved the zip file from D: to C:, figuring (correctly, I’m pretty sure), that the zip file was executing a different file that happened to be named “setup.exe.” I don’t know why the wrong one wasn’t overwritten by the right one, or maybe the unzipper was too stupid to get the paths right. But installing from C — because it’s C or because it’s not D? — seems to have done the trick.

Now can I have those four hours back? Thank you. [Tags: windows windows_sucks blackberry]
