Updating the inbuilt Mib3 Satnav Offline

[Tell]

Well I never!
Uninstalled 7-Zip and reinstalled latest version. Downloaded nav file again and still no luck.
Tried it on a friend's Windoze 10 PC with same result!
Thought I'd give it a go on my Mac so downloaded the relevant programs and lo and behold it worked perfectly.
So looks like the pesky Windoze laptop can be confined to the bin as I don't use it for anything else.
Anyway, thanks for your help and assistance.

Think it's the pesky internal zip program Skoda use, if you aren't using the latest 7zip to unzip or the Windows internal program with the right click then it doesn't unzip correctly.

BTW

There is life in the old Windows 10 64 bit machines that aren't compliant with Windows 11 by installing Window 11 24h2 with the server command prompt. Older harder with non fancy drivers seem to cope well with the workaround. Got two 13 year old tower units happily on Windows 11 24h2. Newer compliant hardware does have some issue on the 24h2 update... still 25h2 to look forward to . Because Microsoft re wrote Windows and imposed more strict driver requirements it became more problematic to update. Once on 24h2 moving to 25h2 should be easy since it's an incremental update.

Have a thread on that.

Windows 11 22H2/23H2/24H2 Upgrade on unsupported 64bit hardware - link

It's that time again with Windows 11 unsupported hardware. The annual release is out 22H2 so to do it you have to do the workaround. This changed from the one I put up last year, although there are others which got you from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Last years link...

Still the good news is you have installed 25.06 map.

Hi Tell
My laptop is 64 bit with an SSD. Might give it a stay of ececution, though!

I put SSDs in these two old tower units and fully populated the memory. The other laptops are 2 in 1 HP fully compliant with Windows 11 so didn't need any tricks to get Windows 11 on them. The original were Windows 7, to 10, to 11. 12 ?... we'll see.

Hi all,

I also managed to install the latest DB update on my car, despite the Head Error in 7zip tool.
I just extracted the archive on a 64G USB stick and after my last trip (>2h) the version was changed to 25.6.

Good luck everyone

Probably the curse of the Skoda zip software. They do have a reputation for messing it up their end - may be it's not important. Checks are made to ensure that any old garbage files don't get introduced into the unit, so whatever it's moaning about doesn't effect the integrity of the import.

Certainly it unzipped fine for me without moaning. No errors.

Me too. All good, and now I have version 25.6
