    Just got a 9700 with OS 5.0.0.405 and been trying all morning to upgrade to a newer OS. I tried to move to .545 but could not find a loader.exe. I found the vendor file and deleted it but no loader.exe. (just a bunch of loader.dll and a few other things). Am I doing this wrong? I also don't use my BB for work things; just like to have fun with it. Will it hinder me alot if I just use the OS it came with?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You can use the OS that came with the device.... but if you want to find the Loader.exe... first, did you download and install the OS on your PC??? After you have done this you will find both the Vendor.xml file and the Loader.exe in the following folder:

    Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    Windows 7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader

    Yes I downloaded and installed. I found the vendor file there, just not the loader.exe file. I guess I will try one more time to download and if I still can't find it I will probably just use the one I have now. Thanks~
