DM 4.7 redownloads the vendor.xml .... so yeah, don't use DM and don't use a Beta OS to load something so important. Use apploader and find a friend with XP.

Reason: AL to DM
i'm installing using vista now, and it still does not work. i tried updating through loader.exe, though under current version and available version, the same versions of the OS are listed-- i would think under available version, the newer one would be listed. regardless, this pos still does not work. i've updated the OS many times before, and have never had an issue!
What model BB do you have? Double check in Options / About.
Are you 100% sure you have downloaded the correct OS for your BlackBerry.
You must install the version of the OS specifically made for your model BB.

No, I don't think the BB is defective.
Where are you loading "Loader" from - I don't recall seeing "current version and available version" when using Loader.exe (I used it earlier this evening).
Let's rerun the steps.
Download the OS (you are downloading 4.5.0.139, which is the application version)
Install the OS onto your PC
Locate and delete ALL COPIES of VENDOR.XML on your PC C: drive
Connect your BB to your PC - make sure Desktop Manager is NOT started
Go into c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and run loader

If you click on details > modules, it says it there.
Well, that's why it isn't loading. There is nothing to load.
Find the handheld OS file that you downloaded onto your PC. Right mouse click on it and Run as Administrator. It HAS to be installed to the LOADER FILES folder.
