Hi,
I'm using wine to allow me to manage my TomTom SatNav using their
'HOME'
application. On the whole it works well. The exception to this is installing
updates/enhancements.
To install items 'HOME' uses two files.
The first is a .cab file which contains the update. The second file is a
.toc file that contains information about the .cab file. This is where I
have my problem.
the toc file is a xml file and contains the location of the cab file in the
form;
<Location>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/patrick/My%20Documents/TomTom/HOME/Downloads/navcore_6.52.7690.go-rider-one.cab</Location>
When the application reads the toc file it errors because it is unable to
fine the cabinet file.
If I edit the path in the toc file to read
<Location>file://z:\TomTom\HOME\Downloads\navcore_6.52.7690.go-rider-one.cab</Location>
It finds the cab file and installs the item just fine.
This is an ok work around that I don't mind doing. However there is one
weekly update that is automatically put into the c:\windows\temp folder. It
use the same method of toc/cab files however this happens automatically and
when the app can't find the cab it then deletes them from C:\windows\temp.
The workaround is to copy the toc and cab file out of the temp folder before
acknowleging the error, then edit the toc and install as if it was a update.
This is slightly more frustrating.
If the application can find the file when
<Location>file://z:\TomTom\HOME\Downloads\navcore_6.52.7690.go-rider-one.cab</Location>
is used why doesn't;
<Location>file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/patrick/My%20Documents/TomTom/HOME/Downloads/navcore_6.52.7690.go-rider-one.cab</Location>
or
<Location>file:///C:/windows/temp/update.cab</Location> work?
Thanks for any help
