DECTalk Express Firmware

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
I need to revisit this topic.
the firmware file is an .exe one, not compressed.  are you suggesting that 
one should  put the exe file on a floppy execute it onto  that floppy then 
install the files onto your drive bypassing the updating of autoexec etc? 
then go into the directory and run the firmware from there?
can this be done entirely without speech?  I would think so, since all 
other firmware upgrades could.
I am asking as i have unpacked the .exe file onto a floppy, but am not 
getting  the files to install for some reason.
I am not upgrading the dtexp directory, but starting from scratch.  Might 
this be the problem?
Thanks,
Karen
