*CAN NOT FIND PALM, INC FOLDER AFTER INSTALLING NOVACOM
For those who have installed novacom driver and cant find the Palm, Inc folder please go to task manager and see if novacom,exe is running, if it is then search on your computer where novacom.exe is located, if you find this folder this is where you place the ACMEInstaller and also need this directory on the command prompt part

Hi

I installed drivers that you gave link too but have no Palm Inc folder in program files. I only have one called HP webOS which has a PDK and SDK folder in there?? Where am I going wrong?

@williap112

umm thats strange because when you install the novacom drivers it automatically creates a directory of C:\program files\Palm, Inc, can you go to task manager and check if novacom.exe is running? if so search for the .exe on your computer to find out where its located

@kashem58 Hi

Novacomd.exe is running and this is located in C:\Program Files\HP

webOS\SDK\bin\novacomd\x86.

I have both of these but can't locate terminal anywhere??

@williap112

if novacom.exe is running that means you have the driver installed, but you will need to change the ACMEInstaller in DOS, so

cd C:\Program Files\HP webOS\SDK\bin\novacomd\

then cd \x86

then type novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller

this should work am assuming 'novacom.exe' is inside x86 folder

tell me if this works

@williap112

i had the same problem but i extracted the acmeinstaller in bin

and in command prompt i typed in:

cd C:\Program Files\HP webOS\SDK\bin

then novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller

it works for me so it might worth a shot for u

I installed 3.5 last week and it's working great. Wifi is fine and battery life is decent but not like the stock Web Os. Great video! The one stop shop to get the files from your link was the biggest help!

i found novocom running as palm novocom when u look in task manager.
