Desktop Manager might not automatically prompt to update your Device Software (OS)

If you have downloaded a device software update, but you're desktop manager did not prompt you to perform the update, try this:

  • Close Desktop Manager
  • Rename "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Vendor.xml" to something like "Vendor.xml.old"
  • Start Desktop Manager
  • Plug in your device

Desktop Manager should now prompt you to perform the Device Software update.
