trying to upgrade to the tnt software have everything downloaded like every instructions i can find have followed them exactly but when i try to use the 7zip file manager it says it is unable to open the tnt file as an archive? what am i doing wrong? thanks hunter

hwebb

anyone?

Don't try to "open" the file. You can't. Try "extracting" the file to a location on your computer where you will then tell the Smarty where it is when you will then upload to the Smarty hardware.

Yup, As MEGA said, the smarty uploader software doesn't extract the file from 7zip, you have to extract it first. I have a specific directory for all my smarty updates.

i extract it using the 7zip file manager correct? if so it still says that it cannot do it because it is an archive whatever that means

right click on the downloaded smarty TNT file. then a drop down menu will come up and click on "extract here". once it is unzipped you will have a SMT something or other file. open the smarty loading software, click on "find" in upper left corner. find the SMT file you just unzipped and then click upload

don't mess with the computer at all while doing the update (I am just **** that way) and it will take about 35 minutes for a 6.7

Lil Dog

Hmm.. So you downloaded 7Zip?
For me I download the file from Mads. Then just use windows explorer to get to the file. Right click and select the 7zip "Extract here" and whabam it unzips.. Then you should have 2 files in your directory, the .7z file and the .smt file.
