Hi,

I'm trying to apply a firmware upgrade to a MD1000 enclosure for it to be able to recognise some Seagate drives (model #ST3600057SS). The upgrade can be found here. My problem is that the firmware update is only available as an .exe file (as opposed to a .df which you can load through Modular Disk Storage Manager.) and when I run it on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, it refuses to install, giving the following error:

<< PACKAGE LOG >>Running validation...

No custom validation configuration file found (CVConfig.xml)

This Update Package is not compatible with your system configuration.

<< PACKAGE LOG >>This Update Package is not compatible with your system configuration.


<< PACKAGE LOG >>==============================> Update Result <==========================

Update was not applied

How can I apply this update? If the executable is compatible with Windows Server 2008, I was thinking of just creating a custom "CVConfig.xml" file to just workaround the validation checks.

Has anyone run into this problem before? If so, how did you solve it?

Thanks
