Mine is empty. apparently cleaned when the new one started to install but then failed extracting, so there's no clue which files are/are not needed. I presume all the odd svn folders are not needed, but am not sure about the .xml file, etc.

Here's a list of what's in the ZIP file. You need to copy HPPrime_OS.img and version_-1-2 file to the CK download directory.

Thanks Tom, I suspected as much but wasn't sure.

Also, note that in the ...Documents\HP Connectivity Kit\Firmware\PrimeG1 folder, populated by the automatic download process (which was OK for G1 and failed for G2), both of these files are present, with a date-stamp of the install time:

version_-1-2 : 3 bytes, <SP> <CR> <LF> or 0x20, 0x0D, 0x0A
version_20211126 : 0 bytes

along with the other G1 update files.

Truth is, I think I'll wait for HP to fix the G2 package. With no release notes, and the ugly bumps of this release so far, I'll let other more intrepid folks with time on their hands do the serious spelunking needed here.

Thanks!
