I have been using various versions of BBy 9700 OS5 on my Windows Vista Home Premium PC without any problems whatsoever. I have installed BBy Desktop Software Version 6.0.1.18 (which appears to be the latest). I am now trying to install rel1478 (PBr6.0.0 PL6.6.0.86 A6.0.0.380 Vodafone Essar Limited) but I seem to be having no luck whatsoever.
The software appears to start OK, selecting English US, but after several minutes I get the following message;
----------
BlackBerry 9700 Installer Information
.!. Error 1606.Could not access network location 0.
Retry Cancel
----------
I tried "Retry", but same problem. So I tried "Cancel", but got same message but without Retry / Cancel, but with OK. The next screen says;
----------
BlackBerry 9700 - InstallShield Wizard
InstallShield Wizard Completed
The wizard was interrupted before <insert title here> could be
completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at
another time, please run setup again.
Click Finish to exit the wizard.

Can anybody please help me or offer advice? Many thanks in advance to all, and what a great site blackberryforums is.

<UPDATE>
I have now managed to get this to install - after a fashion - by disconnecting my ethernet cable from my PC. All appeared to install, but on the following Reg Key, permissions could not be set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
\Research In Motion\AppLoader\SearchPaths\
\{9C767C13-398B-4997-A549-5940BF6EEE87}
Now I cannot upgrade using the usual method (clicking on Loader.exe) as this finds no update available, and yes I have deleted the Vendor.xml file.
I can initially start the upgrade in BlackBerry Desktop Software, as this shows "Update available: 6.0.0.380".
When I click on "Update my device..." I get;
----------
An updated version of BlackBerry Device Software is
available. Do you want to install the update?
Version 6.0.0.380 (Bundle 1478)
Local installation of BlackBerry 6.0 for.
----------
So I click "Get Update" and "Update Options" appear.
I select 'the usual' and when I click "Install update", I am left with one final screen;
----------
There was an error updating your software
One or more modules could not be resolved.

Any ideas?????
Thanks
