and repeat the deinstall process. I have to 'touch' missing files all the friggin' time if something is wrong during FAPman / dpkg runs. General rule" if something's missing during executing install / deinstall scripts, touch it. The command's purpose is actually different, but the nice thing and second-usage purpose is: if a file touched doesn't exists, it is created.

btw misterc: nice of you being calm with that Indian guy. I wouldn't help, because it will take AGES while repeating the same and same over again - like while calling to certain call centers...

let's look @ the sunny side...
a nice step by step instruction of how to refresh a N900 w/ a m$ machine :cool:

thanks for the touch tip; had that a couple time too & went through all the dpkg trouble :confused:
touch is definitely a lot easier :p

if we know go on Skype, they'd be left without solution.

And.. you'll probably have to deal with this too. And probably nobody wants that. (at least not guys working in IT).

Sorry. That was bad, i know. But couldn't help it.

open Explorer (Windows key + E)
navigate to c:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5

You can't run flasher.exe from Explorer. You need to bring up the Command prompt by clicking on Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
