bar files on OS2beta are easy to install if you download the DDPB installer to your windows desktop, there are threads around to explain all this, so i won't bore you with it....but with DDPB on my windows desktop and a usb link to playbook, it was easy for me and i know next to nothing about all this stuff...good luck...

we all know we can use the cmd line tools to install an app, but thats typing out loadsa stuff all the time, which just gets annoying, so i made a batch file, and simply edit the .bar filename as needed.
1) on your pb enter development mode, and note your IP (which you can set yourself in OS2) and password
2) place your .bar file and the .bat file iv put instructions for below into the \bin folder of your playbook tools, be it webworks or tablet sdk, for example c:\program files (x86)\research in motion\blackberry-tablet-sdk\bin
3) connect to pc via usb (i always find wifi iffy for installs) and if needed, enter device password.
4) in dos, firstly ensure java is running, then navigate to the \bin folder as mentioned in step 2
5) run the .bat file, and your done
.bat file -
alter the IP address with the IP taken from step 1, alter the .bar to correspond to what you are installing, alter the password set in step 1.Code:blackberry-deploy -installApp -launchApp -device 123.456.0.0 -package email.bar -password 123456
find .bat file zipped and attached for ease of use
edit: of course i `save as` for each new .bat file so you can install many at a time, going one step further, if installing a fair few .bar files, id say make a .bat file to execute the individual install .bat files, so you can install multiple apps in one go.Last edited by BBThemes; 10-27-11 at 01:47 AM.
