Update to TomTom Home2

Hi,
I have been made aware of the week rollover that stops your device working and have been trying to update my GO530.
I have followed the installation instructions to download TomTom Home 2 but it keeps failing saying that it is unable to locate TomTomHome.exe and TTHOMERunner.exe
I have tried several different times but the same issue persists.
I am using a PC with windows 10.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did you overcome it?

    Exactly the same problem, the update actually deleted the previous version then said it could not find the files you mentioned. Now the previous version is deleted I cannot do anything!

    Interesting Marty.
    Did you manage to fix it?
    I find that I can only use my 530 once a day now. It normally works on the outward journey but once switched off and back on again it never finds a signal.

    I have tried several times during the last 2 days on 2 different laptops and keep getting the same error. I have downloaded a fresh install of the "latest version (2.11)" from the TomTom website but as soon as I run the application I get a box come up telling me there is a critical update that I must install, but when I complete the update it tells me that it cannot find those 2 files!
    Wasted too much time on this now, maybe time to buy a new SatNav but it wont be a TomTom!

    Hi YazFazMan,

    It was option2 that worked for me.
    Updates were successful and GO530 is currently on my table with a good satellite signal. I have switched it off/on several times and each time it finds a signal.
    Well happy. Thanks again for your help.

    Option 2 for me also, now my old steam powered TomTom can it least be updated with the mapshare and GPS fix updates. Many thanks for sharing the fix YazFazMan
