Getting tom tom 6 on an n73

Can anyone help? Ive got a tom tom 6 cd and want to get it on my memory card and then onto the n73. The readme file on the cd gives the following instructions:

extract mmc.rar and copy all the files to the root of the MMC card on the phone.

copy the .sis file to the root also

copy the maps folder to the root also.

run the .sis file and it should install.


My main issues are how exactly do i extract a file and how do specify that the files are copied to the root of the memory card as oppose to any other part of it! Would i do this thru the nokia pc suite?

Thanks

Re: Getting tom tom 6 on an n73

Surely the installer on the Genuine TomTom CD will just connect to your phone via PC Suite and install the SIS onto your phone?

Tried TomTom support pages? failing that just call them?

Just a reminder to all that discussing or advising how to obtain/install illegal copies of software is against forum rules.

OP hasn't stated if his copy of TomTom is genuine or not but will give him/her benefit of the doubt for now.

Re: Getting tom tom 6 on an n73

You can use Winrar to extract RAR files.

If it mentions the root folder, can you not just use a memory card reader?

I would have thought the official CD installation would be a relatively simple process. Never heard of an official programme to extract RAR files before. Are you sure this is legit?

Tom Tom do not distribute software as a compressed .rar file.

Haven't seen TomTom for years so if that's the case I'll be closing the thread.
