Great call, I was just looking into the naming of that folder myself. This should be stickied!!!

I noticed after doing the .148 install the folder was named:

9530-v4.7.0.148_P4.0.0.181

Use Apploader instead of DM. Its under Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/App Loader. The executable file is Loader.exe

Aye Thanks A Lot Cause That Other Way Didn't Work For Me!!!!

did you erase the 151 files or just copy over them?

yes, just copy and paste....

What happens if you don't actually have a "Shared" folder under C:Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion?

-------------

EDIT: Okay....don't know what happened, but somehow the new OS didn't actually install the first time I tried it. Odd...Nevermind though. Working fine now. (And I'm such an addict I just hit the spacebar twice on my laptop and was surprised when no period appeared)

for those of you still having problems after the copy and paste trick I have a slightly different solution.
1) Uninstall all RIM software, old OSs, DM, ect. Make sure the folders in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files folder were deleted.
2) Run the 5.0 OS .exe and complete the install
3) Optional* Run Lyricidal's *new* Shrink-a-OS (he made a slight update today to fix a problem with the UK-English removal, so redownload it if you haven't).
4) Uninstall the RIM Internal Apps.
5) Run the Loader from the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader folder *Not from Shrink-a-OS* and *Not from DM, note that I DIDN'T reinstall the DM*
If the 5.0 OS is the only installed OS and you don't have the DM installed this should work.
