[PilotMgr] error: modification of a read-only ... line 2665

[Arthur Black <arthurb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running into the same problem reported by others on the upgrade issue and need some help.  My old PalmPilot died recently, so I bought a Palm Vx as a replacement.  But I have not be able to get Pilotmgr to talk to it.  

When people talk about the fix of using the Install conduit to load a new ap, are you using the PilotManager File->Installer menu, or are you using another technique?

I have gone through the following sequence, but none have fixed the problem:

-first tried syncing with pilotmgr.  Got the "modification of .." error message
-sync'ed the Palm Vx on my home PC.  Everything worked fine.
-tried syncing with pilotmgr, got the "modification of .." error message
-using my home PC, upgraded the Palm Vx OS from 3.5.0 to 3.5.2
-tried syncing with pilotmgr, got the "modification of .." error message
-tried using the PilotManager File->Installer menu to install a file on the Pilot.  Again got the same  "modification of .." error message

The version of perl installed on our shared file system is perl,V5.003

thanks for any help,


Art Black
