Sending the BlackBerry Desktop Software or BlackBerry Device Manager installation files to users' computers

If BlackBerry® device users do not have the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on their computers, you can send the installation files for the BlackBerry Desktop Software or the BlackBerry® Device Manager to their computers.

You can distribute the installation files in one of the following ways:
  • send the .msi file for the BlackBerry Device Manager to users' computers
  • configure and send the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation file to users' computers, which installs the software and settings on users’ computers automatically

  2. Copy the installation file that you downloaded to the shared network drive.
  3. Send users an email message that includes the following information:
