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

[Arthur Black <Arthur.Black@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the suggestions from various people.  But unfortunately I still have 
not been able to get pilotmgr to do an install or sync with my Vx.  

I finally gave up and borrowed a Palm III.  I was able to immediately do an 
install and then a sync with that unit.  That unit has version 3.0 of the Palm 
operating system.  I would conclude that something broke with pilotmgr between 
version 3.0 and 3.5.0 of the Palm operating system.

The last fixes I tried with my Palm Vx were:

-do a hard reset of the Palm Vx.  Then sync it with my PC
-tried to do an install with pilotmgr, got the "modification of .." error 
message
-did a hard reset of the Palm III.  Then did an install with pilotmgr.  Worked 
fine, no problems.
