Guest BAD dave Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 I am having trouble upgrading to TomTom Mobile 5 on my SPV E200. I can copy the files onto my SD card but the TomTom setup program does not appear at the bottom of my Start screen list, as it should. I know that the E200 has issues with certain brands of card but I have had TomTom 4 running on 2 types of card (unbranded & Viking) on previous occasions. When I browse folders on Multimedia Album, the TomTom folders are present but they do not appear on the Start screen to allow installation! I have tried many different ways of copying the files onto the root of the SD (Activesync, card reader), but the same end result. Is there an issue with Read Only/Hidden/Archive settings? Is there some other way to run the programs from the card? Please help!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 Open the 2577 folder and run the .exe you should now get the do you want to run message, select yes and then you should be fine.

Is it hidden somewhere? Any recommendations for one to install?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 2, 2005 Report Posted July 2, 2005 Get Smart Explorer from www.binarys.com it's shareware but worth registering later :)

I have selected autorun.exe in 2577 folder. Question is, how to run it. I select the file and choose Open and nothing happens. I choose Run and it asks me for a Command. What do I type here? Thanks!

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 9, 2005 Report Posted July 9, 2005 Is it working ok on the SDcard that TomTom supplied? Or did you buy it from ebay?
Guest Brazen Posted July 9, 2005 Report Posted July 9, 2005 Is it working ok on the SDcard that TomTom supplied? Or did you buy it from ebay? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Purchased this week on CD from... e-bay! I also get the message, Unable to open the file. The system returned the error 'Access denied'
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 9, 2005 Report Posted July 9, 2005 Sorry but you need to buy a legitimate copy. If you contact TomTom directly they may be able to help you. As explained in this previous post. http://www.modaco.com/TomTom_Mobile_5_Inst...on-t222240.html MoDaCo will not help with ilegal software.
