Allllright.
So today I got a BlackBerry 8330, and opened the box up and popped in the Desktop Manager install disk.

I run the installer, and about 5 seconds after it is ran, Windows Installer has a dialog box that pops up with this:

And the only option I can click is 'OK', and then nothing happens.
I also tried going to the BlackBerry website and downloading the installer there. The same dialog box opens up.

Is there any solution to this? :s

edit: Oh, and I'm running XP SP3, if that helps any.

Same problem here. Just received my 8130. Can't get the software to install with the same outcome.

I can't find a solution on the network.

Shortly after my first post, I found a solution at this site:

(Blackberry Forum won't let me post the link because I don't have enough posts)

Basically, the windows installer has issues if your temp directory is pointing to a folder with spaces in it. The link indicates how to create a new temp directory, associate it with the system variables. After that, you should be good to go.
