Instead of using the Web Desktop Manager, you could deploy "Application Loader Lite". Install the firmware packages onto a server where no BES components are installed and share the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\ as RIM. Delete vendor.xml from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. Your users could now use the link to \\<server>\RIM\AppLoader\Loader.exe to install the given firmware packages onto their BlackBerry devices. The user computers need to have BlackBerry Device Manager installed.
