Version 7 Download

[ALit]

Not sure if I'm being dof or what. Just downloaded a 45meg zip file from Vodacom's website, only to find it's got a file called "VMC_7.00.0015.0.iso" which seems to extract into nothingness.

I have the Huawei E620 with version 6.xx and am trying to download version 7 off VC's site. Is it just me being stoopid, or is this file corrupt on the web?

an iso is a cdrom filesystem image...
You should be able to burn it to a cd using some cdrecorder software (like Nero)

Please forgive my continual stupidity. Did that and it still sits there as a ".iso" which my machine does nothing with?

 

[redarrow]

Well, I'm a Linux user, so I'm not entirely sure on how to do it,

But you need to burn it as a cd image, not as a file.
Nero (or any other semi-decent cd burning app) should have an option something like "Create CD from image" or "Burn disk from image"

Hope this helps..

You can also use a virtual cdrom driver like daemon tools that will add another cdrom drive to your pc. And then you can select the iso file to mount into that virtual cdrom drive. It saves having to burn cd's.

Thanks to all for replying, but I took the easy way out and went back to the Vodashop who suddenly found a v.7 CD. Downloading all these nice goodies tends to get a bit bandwidth happy.

Other people may have the same problem, and will hopefully benefit from the advice here.

Cheers!!

Does V7 work with the Options card? Reason I ask is the site was still showing v6 for that specific card when I last looked.

Version 7 works with all 3 cards... but the option card also works fine with version 6

I just used winrar and extracted the iso file, got a zip file then.

Thanks, 3G4me. Downloaded v7. Was using V6 and found it quite stable.
