    You need to install the os on your pc first. Double click the downloaded 5.0.0.411 os file and follow the on screen instructions.

    Please see your other thread for more details.

    You have an 8900 - you can't install 9000 software to it. Download 5.0.0.411 for the 8900 and then see the link ST79 provided.

    Oops - do you have an 8900 or a 9000? Your profile says 9000, but your original post says 8900. If it's an 8900 you're trying to install this to, it'll never work - the software you downloaded is for a 9000. They're not interchangeable.

    When I double click on the OS install it starts but does not finish. I get the attached screen capture as if it is looking to be run from the command prompt with additional arguments ?

    Has any one seen this and can assist ?

    Thanks in advance

    Disregard the above request. Found the issue ( file access issue )

    Glad to have 5.0 on my Bold.
