New Firmware for MMM - Page 2 - RC-Monster Forums

Arct1k · 05.09.2008, 08:21 AM

Well tried installing an old version and I get a similar error - I've done a purge through the registry and deleted any dir's.

I guess I'll reboot and try again tonight.... The only thing I can think of is I didn't uninstall before the install I figure the package would do that for me... Maybe not cleanly...

Well I tried uninstalling v3.04 and clearing my cache. I looked around in the registry a little and didn't see anything obvious, but I'm not comfortable playing around in there so I left everything alone. I even restarted just in case that might help. Then I redownloaded the newest version (v3.051) and came up with the same error. I was thinking that the problem may have been fixed because the version I had problems with before was v3.05. Also, I don't use a download manager. Luckily I still had the setup file for v3.04 and it installs fine.

Are you guys downloading the install file and saving it to your computer and then running it or just coosing run form the dowload options.

I downloaded the 3.51 file to a folder on my computer first, then ran it from there and I didnt have any problem at all.

Yeah, I downloaded the CastleLinkInstall_3051.exe file to my Program Files folder and opened it from there, that's how I still had the v3.04 and v3.05 to reinstall.

Yeah done all that - for whatever reason the install cab seems to get corrupted on extract :(

No problem I'll just have to boot back into xp for changes

I have the same problem. I have no clue how to fix this as I am not very computer savvy. The old 3.04 version will not program the controller. What to do???

Is the embedded extractor at fault (maybe not completely Vista compatible), or is the whole file corrupt? Depending on the program, you might be able to manually extract the files using something like WinRAR.

Just a thought...

I am also using XP sp2. Thanks for the tip, but I'll just screw something up if I try and mess with manual extraction and whatnot

Possibly a bumd question, but is this new firmware needed for the MMM? Has anyone tried it yet and seen any difference?

Supposedly the new firmware fixes a bug where you couldn't set a custom LVC voltage in the MMM.

Brian i tried that to - used albzip to extract the files and then tried to create my own cab - bummed that didn't work.

None castle packages now work. I wonder if it could be Vista SP1 having an issue with their format of cab file...

i was hoping castle would have fixed this issue, its a pita, when i go over to other peoples places to try and use the CC software its better to just not try

myself, i only run XP... not touching vista until i actually need to.. part from DX10, i dont see any reason to switch... its just all the premade computers come with vista home basic here which is worse imo than 98SE!!!

I tried 3.051 on a different computer and it still hits me with that error. Both machines are XP with SP2. I could really use some help on this cause it SUCKS!!!

I'm also running XP and had a little error after installing and trying to run it for the first time. I forgot to close castlelink while installing though.

I uninstalled it and re-installed it and now it works perfectly.

I can't even get through the install completely. At the very end is when it gets me.
