mipsbe install issues

Hi All,

Having an issue installing ROS7b3 on a mipsbe platform.

If I check for updates in the "development" channel it finds that 7.0beta3 is the current version, but if I try to download it the download fails with "status: ERROR: missing routeros-mipsbe-7.0beta3.npk"

I downloaded the image manually, and I note that the download is called "routeros-7.0beta3-mipsbe.npk" so I suspect it's mis-named on the server.

I renamed the download to routeros-mipsbe-7.0beta3.npk, copied it to the RB and rebooted, I gather it should have auto-installed but it didn't.

Went back to "check-for-updates" and hit "Download&Install" the RB apparently finds the file already there so doesn't bother trying to download it, reboots, but still doesn't install.

Also tried installing it by way of "Auto Upgrade", no dice.

If it matters the board in question is an RB912 running ROS 6.45.6.

Thanks

Upgrade first to 6.46 latest beta.

Then download 7.0 beta 3 but don't rename it. Upload it with the name it was when downloaded and reboot. It should upgrade.

Excellent, thanks, after upgrading to latest testing I was able to upgrade to 7.0beta3 from winbox.

Thanks again.

These steps didn't work for me. I'm on the latest testing (6.47rc2) version, and when I attempt to install the latest development version (7.0beta8), I still get the same error message trying: ERROR: missing routeros-mipsbe-7.0beta8.npk. Please help.
