Will you post a walk through of how you were able to install? That will be very much appreciated.

Can anyone provide an OS download link for Curve 4.5.0.131?

i tried what bbcrackman said, but my bbm is still listed.

+1 sunkast...

Does this mean your taking over now.....

I gotta eat....Lol

I know some people are having issues with the icon but I had no such issues.

I have an 8330 running 4.5.0.160.

I used the download for the 83xx, unzipped and moved all the ,cod files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader\8330-v4.5.0.106_P3.4.0.41\Java

Some files already in the Java folder had the same name so I allowed it to replace the old with the new.

Then I moved the .alx file to C:\Program Files(X86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\
Loader\8330-v4.5.0.160_P3.4.0.41

Then I opened the DM and opened the application loader, it showed an upgrade for BBM to 5.0, I clicked next and it installed and after the reboot it was up and running.

The icon appears in custom themes and default themes.

Note that the Program Files (x86) is for Vista, for XP it's just Program Files

I hope this helps someone get theirs figured out.

Until 9pm EST. Then I'll be watching Eureka.

I've been wracking my brain on how to do this. I originally used v4.5 DM and my BBM icon disappeared. I then upgraded to v5.0 DM and I get an error message that others been getting. I'm trying to copy the files into the java folder and I don't have one, here's how mine looks C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. I even reinstalled my OS 4.5.077 the cd that came in the box with my phone and no luck the folders aren't there. I have a 8330 curve from verizon. Someone please help me?
