That is the same problem I'm seeing I believe. I don't think its going to get better without the right files in place. I'm just not sure where those files are to be found.

I will reply to my own response. No, my problem is still not fixed. If I leave the rar and firmware folder in the htdocs folder, than the update will fail with an unknown error (because the htdocs folder does not have chopacaproduction rar). If I add the chopacaproduction rar into the htdocs folder, than the Zune is giving me the exact same stuff that I was getting yesterday. According to this finding, I will need to either buy a new Zune 30GB that hopefully has the latest firmware installed, or I will look elsewhere to find a new mp3 device (Sony Walkman or an Apple iPod).

Maybe the Zune downloaded one of the other firmwares and not the firmware based off of the code name. I will leave the Keelbaseline rar and firmware folder in the htdocs folder of the Abyss Web Server and see if it has any affect on the Zune 30GB device.

It would seem that we are still seeing failures? Without a way to tell the Zune its updated, which is purely a problem with Microsoft not making a server available out of its millions of servers to support the millions of products sold to consumers and still in the market, these things are effectively small bricks.

Microsoft has made its money selling these at retail. As one of the people who believed in Microsoft and bought one of these at retail, its hard to put your faith in other new Microsoft products. All the remaining devices have fuses of indeterminate length, you just don't know when they will fail. This end life support actually has an impact on selling new products.

Pardon me but this is what is called a "lack of customer orientation". Do we have any explanation for the error encountered? It would be greatly appreciated to see a response.

Thanks!
