Dear Kartu and team,

Am sorry to bother you, but now that the new installer is ready with baseflasher, can someone please explain how I should install it?

Can I just copy the huge setup.exe to an SD card, insert the SD card, then it will run? Or should I connect my 950 to my computer, copy the huge setup file to the root directory of the 950. Then what do I do? Switch off then back on again?
Or should I copy the file over to the 950 then click on it in windows explorer?

Also I saw from an earlier answer the VS2008 redistributable was needed - I hope not. How would I implement this, or is it taken care of in your setup.exe file.

I know you did great work but I wonder whether your setup instructions are now confusing since they seem to apply for the version without base flasher (whatever that is), and not your new setup.exe file?

I am sorry to bother you but I dont want to brick my 950.
I am very keen to be able to download files using wifi and then read them. My office laptop lacks an SD reader so I cant transfer files easily. It would be great to send files to gmail or dropbox then pick up on the 950. So I see many advantages to your software and appreciate your work. I was waiting for the selfcontained version and am grateful you wrote it, but please for newbies if you can give me really basic instructions that would be great, and perhaps put in the sticky and on the wiki guide too. Or is it best for me not to try given my lack of computer knowledge?

Thanks for helping, I appreciate your efforts (and others in this forum) to write this software. Sorry for my ignorance.
