Hi

I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it, and downloaded the setup.exe software from Meridian web site to update my 568.2MM The issue is that after installing, the software looks for updates and gives me an error.

"an Unexpected error occured"
Update check failed

Please help smile

Try Right Click on

C:\Program Files\Meridian\Setup.exe

or

C:\Program Files (x86)\Meridian\Setup.exe

And choose Run as Admin

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.

Hello Thanks for your fast replies. None worked, but, finally I was able to find a Meridian.exe program and the installation worked. The one in Meridian website did not... strange.

I now have a new issue frown
I connected my laptop to a Trendnet TU S9 (USB to serial) to the Meridian, and it does not fetch/connect... any ideas?

Have you used this unit and associated null modem cable (you have got one don't you?) with this before or is this all new?

It has to be a "Null Modem Cable". It would say that on the packaging. Chris smile

I use a USB to serial device, had to find/load the driver before it would work. Good luck. JimK

Hi,

Just to satisfy my curiosity, can you give me the details (URL) of where you got this software.

Did you use the �Meridian Software� link at the bottom of the page?

Regards,
Carl

I downloaded from here http://www.Meridian-audio.com/support/download-installer.aspx

then selected setup.exe and on install, it stopped when trying to connect to Meridian to download the docs, prg etc..

Thanks for replying,

That URL and the �Meridian Software� link both download the same version of setup.exe, so that's fine.

I know local firewalls can get in the way and prevent setup.exe connecting up and downloading the other files from M.

Regards,
Carl

Agreed, but I found Meridian.exe program without changing anything and it worked.
