    Ummm.. I always update the download.htm file.. I don't change it's format so you could use that.. I think what drait did on the updater tool is to check the file date on the server.. You may want to talk to him to see how he did it.. if anything I can easily make the txt file.. it's just one more thing to update..

    Will try to check the filedate on the server to save you an extra job.

    RoyN,

    I've just been looking into this, I've found no way of making the USB device automatically run an app on insertion other than having an application on the CarPC itself, if anyone can help with this I'd be grateful.

    Early in the morning and just pulling some ideas here.

    Have you tried autorun.inf similar config to a cd-rom? When it detects the device it will probably exec it.

    Sounds like a good app, is there going to be a manual way of starting it. the reason I ask is I use a laptop in boot so i would plug in the usb drive then I have a power buton wired to the front of the car. When I start the car i boot up the laptop so the usb drive would already be in before the OS starts. an update button from RR would be really cool!!

    Yeah, its going to be as versatile as possible so pretty much anyone can use it depending on how they use their CarPC.

    If ok with yourself, I may include the code you sent me for the file compare txt files.

    Great idea for the use of your Interchange program.
    Now, if it can update RR and then relaunch RR and start transferring music and movie files from the flash drive it would be perfect!!
