OS Update issue... sorry. Please help

Ok first of all I'm sorry to be posting this, I understand these OS update problems us newbies have may drive you guys nuts. Anyway, here goes:

I want to upgrade from .162 to .282
I followed instructions I found at this forum here and here.
I updated DM, and I downloaded .282 from here
I installed the .282 exe file, hooked up my Bold, and started DM.

DM indeed finds device software updates, but in the Application Loader windows it says:

Select updates to install:
[ ] Blackberry 4.6 version 4.6.0.247 (preferred)
[ ] Blackberry 4.6 version 4.6.0.162 (current)
[ ] Blackberry 4.6 version 4.6.0.126 (downgrade)

Now why doesn't .282 show up here? I reinstalled it on my desktop twice and tried again. What am I doing wrong here?

Hope someone can help me out here, thanks

Quick check: you deleted vendor.xml file from:

c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader

?

And you should also try disconnecting from the internet before you start Desktop Manager.

The only other possibility is that you didn't download the OS for your Blackberry model.

Uninstall each of those OS's from your PC. Do it in the add/remove software.
Also, while in add/remove software make sure that .282 is actually installed
on your PC. That should do it.

Personally, I use CrackMem for OS updates.

No. I didn't. Aw man... I feel stupid.
