Do I put it on a card? I haven't been able to get to the video from any link at all.

Thanks in advance =}

This is the walkthough bryanzs wrote - you can follow it if you can't watch the video -

I've actually got it installed, and perhaps Freddy's updated video will make these instructions unnecessary, but for anyone else who wants to get the update ready NOW, here are some hints:

- as stated in my earlier post, be sure to rename the downloaded files to their original names;

- unzip the tool.zip to some location (I chose c:\delstar, and it created c:\delstar\tool for me);

- after unzipping, use Windows Explorer to open up the folder that was just created (c:\delstar\tool in my example), and double-click on the isetup-5.2.1.exe to install their scripting tool. During the installation process, when asked where to put the installed files, I again said c:\delstar, so I ended up with a c:\delstar\Inno Setup 5 folder;

- When the Inno Setup is installed, allow it to start up, and then choose to open an existing script file - don't select the "Example scripts" choice, chose the "Other" choice, and browse to the folder where you unzipped the tool in the first place (again, in my case, C:\DELSTAR\TOOL). You can then select the file RK28DM.ISS. Then choose "Run" from the menu;

- You'll now be building the actual installation tool. When asked, I again specified c:\delstar as the location, and it created c:\delstar\RK28DM, inside of which is the installation tool. Even though I specified English as the language, when I ran the rk28dm.exe (by double-clicking on it), it came up in Chinese. If you double-click on the file named "setting.ini" in that same folder (c:\delstar\rk28dm), about 3/4 of the way down you'll see a line that says "Language=Chinese". If you change that to say instead "Language=English" and then save that file, when you next double-click on rk28dm.exe, it should come up in English.


Now, of course, once that's all done, you'll want to stop the RK28DM program, and attach your eReader to your computer, and then restart RK28DM. You may then browse to where you unzipped the 03172010 fm Delstar.zip file (I unzipped mine to c:\delstar, creating a c:\delstar\03172010 fm delstar folder), and select the W950A.img file.

Wow, I really hope someone does all this and tells me if it works! I can't do it myself until my eReader arrives in a couple of days, but maybe this will help one of you lucky folks who already have it in hand...
