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!!

No probs, glad to see it going to good use.

If you need any bits explaining or any help let me no.

Hey tolisn,

Been doing multiple projects at once, have just updated it to work with updating Freedrive for CdRSkuLL. Doing music next, if I get time this weekend I'll do an upgrade Interchange and release.

Could really use music updating as well as working with rr as shell. Any idea when you might have these ready?

Thanks much
Cobelli

You should definitely be able to just have the built in OS auto run functionality run an app. Possibly even just a batch file to do the work.

Autorun won't work using USB the same as with a CD. Interchange is being designed to be much cleverer than a simple batch file. It will automatically open and close RoadRunner, FreeDrive etc, update and then reopen them again. I'm hoping to do some coding on it today and get a release out asap.

I thought autorun worked on any removable media. Shame if it doesn't. But if it did, something like this should work:
@ECHO OFF
taskkill /f /im rr.exe
xcopy /S /D /Y %~dp0\RoadRunner\* %ProgramFiles%\RoadRunner\
start %ProgramFiles%\RoadRunner\rr.exe

Add appropriate kill, copy & restart steps for each different app. Obviously an exe talking to RR through the SDK commands can probably do things a lot more neatly . But still, for a 30 seconds script it would do the trick for me if I didn't have wireless from my car pc to my home network.
