3.unzip using winzip or something
4.run the setup.exe
5. cancell the tomtom setup & now you will see some more files in your folder
6. open "nvapp" folder
7.open "app" folder
8.copy all 4 cab files ie highlight all 4 files and right click and copy

1.my computer
2.mobile device
3.my windows mobile based device
4.windows

Alternatively just download the .exe version of the upgrade & run that - much simpler & works first time... |

Cool info Andy. The TomTom update installer definately leaves much to be desired. Personally, I'd recommend just updating the four CAB files (as per your instructions), uninstall and then reinstall TomTom (or cold boot, if it's not too much hassle).
When I used the factory installer on my test device (XDAIIs, beta 1.40 O2 ROM), it installed everything ok, but the first time I removed and re-inserted the SD card, it promptly reinstalled 5.0 Now I've updated the SD card installer to 5.1, it's nice to know that it will always install the new version should I need it.
