Paul, >From what Dean has previously said, the SD card was the way it is to be done. Theoretically the other method may well work, since that's a normal way to executite a programme via ActiveSync. Dean will no doubt offer his explanation soon.

I'm more than happy to be corrected by Dean if what I'm saying here is wrong, but surely, if you have a desktop machine running, say, XP, you could download an upgrade patch into a folder on the XP machine whose permissions are set to offer shared access. Then, simply get your BN device to connect to that shared folder over either Ethernet or ActiveSync and run the executable from the BN device whichever one it is you're upgrading. For instance, when the upgrade patch came out for the PK, I simply downloaded the patch into a shared folder on my desktop machine, brought the PK onto my home LAN via a wireless connection and ran the executable from the PK, the install file being located on a hard drive of my desktop machine. It worked absolutely fine!
