Update to XBMC4Xbox 3.5-RC2

Post by gennyexd »

Hello to all:
Just downloaded 3.5 RC2....and i would like to install where actually is installed 3.3.
But as long as i know i have to push the new 3.5 thru a FTP client from my computer, and the actual XMBC 3.3 is not suppose to run while i push the NEW XBMC. So i have launched another Dashboard as UnleashX but i don't see the Q drive !

under Unleash i see the following drives:
C, E, F, X, Y, Z.

Instead, when i run XMBC i see the following drives:
C, D, E, F, Q

This means that i can't push the new folder with 3.5 RC2 from Unleash?
and i can i do ?

You don't have to access Q-Drive. Check out where your 3.3 is installed (in most cases it's on E:\ or F:\) and than boot into a dashboard like unleashx get ftp access rename your 3.3 xbmc folder and place the new folder exactly at this place where your 3.3 install was.

Q:\ drive is a virtual mapping that points to where the files of the currently running XBMC4Xbox reside and it only exists when it is running.

You can see the real location at the top section of Q:\xbmc.log (again, extract this file through FTP while XBMC4Xbox is running) - look for "The executable running is":
