BES upgrade quick tip
While updating the internal STS BlackBerry Enterprise Server to 5.0.1 MR1, I got this really strange error message:
When attempting to install the MR1 update.
I looked high and low on the intar-webs not no avail. So after a few hours of swearing I suddenly thought that the issue may not be this installer. So I went to the BES logging folder and looked around. As BES has some insane log levels it is not unknown for me to delete everything in there every once in a while. Apparently I had deleted a folder in there named Installer. Once I recreated the Installer folder in the BES log folder MR1 installed.
RIM?
Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable

You have mucked with our folders and have been justly punished.
Go and sin no more.
