BBHTool: Download Link To The Last Version
When browsing around the forums I have come across two different builds of BBHTool v2.4.9.7a. Here is the build which starts without problems on my XP system:
BBH-Tool v2.4.9.7a - Downloads - BlackBerryOS.com
File: BBHToolv2.4.9.7a.zip
Size: 3,796,867 bytes
MD5: f61192f59bc84419b46ddc36f6e79f5b
A link to a different installer can be found in the third paragraph on the page below:
The Bold Explorer
File: BBHTool-pub.zip
Size: 3,803,194 bytes
MD5: 273365a68d22603a9e5bfd187d263e33
All the files are the same as in the build above except for the two executables. On my system this build fails to start and returns the following error:
BBHTool.exe is not a valid Win32 application

Below are my PC OS specs. It is a fresh minimal installation on a dedicated NTFS partition primarily intended to run BBOS related software:
- Windows Embedded POSReady 2009, updated till March 2019
- .NET v3.5.30729.01, no updates (official installer: dotnetfx35.exe)
- VC Redist 2008 SP1 (official installer: vcredist_x86.exe)
- BB Desktop Software v7.1.0.41 Bundle 42 (installer: 710_b042_multilanguage.exe)
POSReady2009 is basically a trimmed down versions of XP SP3. It was initially installed without any .NET at all. NET v3.5 SP1 and VC Redist 2008 SP1 are required to run BB Desktop Software. There is no Java Runtime installed, it seems that BBHTool only needs JRE for the PlayBook:
