You can use third-party applications to create a single executable file that contains the BlackBerry® Desktop Software and BlackBerry® Device Software, and send the executable file to the computers of the users in your organization. The executable file uses the application loader tool on the computer to update the BlackBerry Device Software on BlackBerry devices.

You can use this update option if you update from BlackBerry Device Software version 3.5 or earlier.

A disadvantage of this update process is that you must distribute large update packages over your organization's LAN.

The executable file installs the BlackBerry Desktop Software and BlackBerry Device Software on the computers of users in your organization. To update the BlackBerry Device Software on BlackBerry devices, users can connect their BlackBerry devices to their computers and start the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager.
