Home out v2.7.5.2014 (critical update) - But failure

Just started Home to see if the 850 maps were out, and it says there is a critical update for home, which links to http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/application/releases/v2_7_5_2014_win.exe but it isn't there and fails.

Anyone know if it got pulled? What's happening?

Automatic update failed for me too (showed second message screen below).
So I tried it again using "Check for Home update" from the menu and got

So something's wrong somewhere.

I'd also seen other reports that the direct link failed, but it worked for me.

So I managed to get it downloaded and installed with no problems using the link.

Hmm, it is working for me too now. Odd!

When I do these update things, I upload the big file, then update the control file that tells systems that it is there. Looks like they did it the other way around.

I can now operate my device from Win 7 with this new home.

It updated fine on my laptop but failed to install on my pc. Closed home, re-opened and selected update and it installed what had already downloaded fine.

I notice the option not to start home on windows startup has been removed Angry

edit it doesn't seem to load with windows now so not a problem Smile

It still bluescreens my Windows 7 laptop as soon as I attach TomTom 730 to it. TomTom admitted that there was a problem months ago.

downloaded today via tomtom home without any problems, but had to reboot computer after installation, apart from that all seems to work ok with windows 7

I am happy with what I have.

Yes that drives me nuts too!!!

Everytime I connect up, TTH starts up & then asks me if I'd like to start the setup/install it. Twisted Evil

So far it's done it 4 times this afternoon, where I've been tinkering with my new 750, it's really starting to Censored

me off.

Surely there's a way to stop it asking each time you connect?
