1760 errors when installing cme files

tha_dub

I'm running c1700-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T7.bin on a cisco 1760 160 ram and 64 flash. When I do an Archive tar /xtract tftp://IP/cme-basic-4.3.0.0.tar to flash it does copy the files to flash however I get the following errors when it tries to create the directories, "gui/ (directory) 0 (bytes) -- unable to create (Invalid argument)" It does this for every directory creation. It then copies the files down okay, "extracting gui/Delete.gif (953 bytes)". In the readme file it does state older routers will not understand the newer unix file system. Is it treating the directory as part of the file name rather than a directory and is there a workaround for this or is it a non issue? I've tried googling for the answer but can't find anything which makes me think I'm missing something simple.

Thanks!

The 1760 is not able to make directories, which means that you are going to have an organizational problem inside your flash directory. However all of the files still work, you just need to make sure that you point to their current location, and not the location that is in the directory that failed to create.

Basically all the files got dumped into flash. Just reference them as such.

In other CME routers you are able to format the flash and get it to be able to make directories. format is not supported in the 1760 IOS I used, so I was never able to get it to make directories.

Directories are totally optional though. Before there was even an option to have directories, CME's default was to **** all the files into flash unorganized.
