Can't sideload - not sure what's happening?

**cadoresg** · 01-28-2013, 07:09 AM

Playbook - latest version
Windows 8

Can't install DDPB - gives error - a dll required is missing ... can't complete installation. Tried compatibility settings, no difference.
Tried BBH Tool - program opens, follow all the steps in the tutotial. But says Bar files NOT installed on connected device. Please try again.

Have latest version of Java - 7 installed.
Have net framework installed and enabled.
Have Playbook in Dev mode.

What gives? what else am I missing?

Thanks
C

The only reliable (and simple) way I've found to side load is the Plugin for Google Chrome available in the Chrome store

For more info on this, install Chrome and go here- PlayBook App Manager

Playbook app manager in chrome is my number one choice, I have dropped using DDPB all together.

I cannot tell from the post here but is this done wirelessly or via usb?

Have you tried rebooting the playbook? Did you add a program/remove a program recently before this stopped working?

I'm getting this:

SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

Sorry, my posts is in reference to Playbook app manager

ignore this ssl certificate error, continue anyway..

@husseinerol: there's no "continue" button to click. My only option is to click the back button or X out. If I go back and try again, I continue to get the same error.

Maybe it's a firewall/antivirus issue.
For DDPB, you need to enable net framework for it to install/work, on top of java.
Windows 7 and older natively have net framework on them. I believe DDPB requires 3.5, while Windows 8 has 4.0, so you may have to activate some of the older net frameworks
