June 23, 20214 yr Hello! Not having had an answer I return on this subject. RXP update new version 2.5.28.3 (June 2021) ...... etc This window is displayed at each startup of my PC, why? If I download update a message tells me that this file already exists. How can I be sure that the update has been installed? The information page of my GTN says this: SW Version 6.62.4 TRNG Reality XP 2.5.28 Is this correct? Thanks for your comments

Thanks for your comments Scroll up and look just above your message and find this. Click just the portion of the link that says "RXP GTN 750/650 Touch". Then read the very first message header there.

June 23, 20214 yr Author The message is written in a window that appears on the Win 10 desktop screen It is not possible to execute what you recommend to do.
June 23, 20214 yr Hi, The Software Update window tells you a newer version from the one installed on your system is available. It also offers a "download" button to download a .zip file which contains the software installer. Merely downloading the .zip file won't update the product though, you also have to unzip the archive and then run the unzipped installer. Have you done this? Edited June 23, 20214 yr by RXP

June 23, 20214 yr Author 45 minutes ago, RXP said: Salut, La fenêtre Mise à jour du logiciel vous indique qu'une version plus récente de celle installée sur votre système est disponible. Il propose également un bouton "télécharger" pour télécharger un fichier .zip qui contient le programme d'installation du logiciel. Le simple téléchargement du fichier .zip ne mettra pas à jour le produit, vous devez également décompresser l'archive, puis exécuter le programme d'installation décompressé. Avez-vous fait cela?
June 23, 20214 yr Author Yes I downloaded it the first time this message appeared but never found it. What folder is it in?
June 23, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, Roland_Rcvau said: What folder is it in? When you select "download", it opens a folder browsing window which by default most likely is C:\Windows\System32 * If you just click Ok, this is the folder where the file will get downloaded to. *NB: this is an unfortunate limitation of Windows and the system tooling which is lacking the capability to setup the "working folder". I'm looking for solutions to change this and point to the user folder by default.
June 24, 20214 yr Author Window for update displayed on my screen. Download update loads Then the following message appears under Windows>System32: "rxp-FS.zip already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click on "Yes". In Windows Systeme32 no trace of the .zip file NB. Windows 10 is configured to display compressed files (.zip) Mystery?!?!?!?! Do you have any idea about this problem? In French: Ce matin la fenêtre pour mise à jour s'est de nouveau affichée sur mon écran. Download update se charge. La barre de progression verte est bien active. Puis le message suivant s'affiche sous Windows>Système32: "rxp-FS.zip existe déjà. Voulez vous le remplacer?" Je clic sur "Oui" Dans Windows Systeme32, après plusieurs vérifications, aucune trace du fichier.zip même après avoir, au préalable, configuré Win 10 pour qu'il affiche les fichiers compressés. Mystère ?!?!?!?! Avez-vous une idée sur ce problème ?
June 24, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, Roland_Rcvau said: Do you have any idea about this problem? No, but why don't you browse and save the file into a folder other than system32 like "Documents"? Edited June 24, 20214 yr by RXP

I use Chrome and can set Chrome to save my downloads into a folder I have named "Downloads". I can set the Microsoft Edge and Firefox browsers to do the same. And all three of those browsers have an option you can set so that it will ask you where you want to save each download.

June 24, 20214 yr @fppilot the updates are not going through the web browser in this case, but are directly downloaded. @Roland_Rcvau the exact file name is "rxpGTN-FS.zip" Please note since Windows Vista the system folders are also redirected. For example writing something into C:\windows gets redirected here: C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows When browsing the C:\Windows folder the files are merged into view, but the actual folder they might reside is in the aforementioned virtual store folder instead. In any case even if you don't find the file back, just make sure to browse to "Documents" for example the next time the update popup shows and you select to download the update file.

And now I find the folder rxpGTN.FS.zip in the "Download" section but not in "Windows System32" which is already weird. Right click on rxpGTN.FS.zip in the window the function 7.Zip does not appear?! Nothing in C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows nor in "Documents". If I return in "Download" rxpGTN.FS.zip disappeared. ?!?! It is not in Win.Sys.32. To go crazy
