Upgrade problem

Am having problems upgrading to 3.0.5

have the fpspkg file which downloads with the suffix .gz.

have tried burning this to a cd from my mac laptop - console says no files found. have tried burning this to a cd from windows (on my mac laptop - console says no files found.

tried un-archiving the gz, mac and windows (parallels) this produces a folder without the fpspkg extension.

tried deleting the .gz to leave .fspkg - console finds the file but then says some part of the upgrade failed.

getting a bit bored of wasting all these CDs.......

    CD drive in console burns and reads shows ok, disks mount and read ok on mac and PC.

    from the website:
    Console Software Upgrade


    We recommend using this update method, as it requires a smaller download and does not erase your shows. It contains exactly the same software as the larger clean install.
    This file will only upgrade existing V3.0.0 or later installations. To upgrade from previous versions, please use the clean install below.

    This is a single file that can be copied to a CD-R, CD-RW or Zip disk to update the console from a previous software version to the latest build.
    Please refer to section 37 of the Wholehog User manual for upgrade instructions.

    37. Updating the Console Software

    Wholehog software can be easily upgraded on a Wholehog III console using a fpspkg file.

    ...easily...

    To upgrade software from an fpspkg or msi file downloaded from the Flying Pig Systems
    website
    1. Check that the file has a name like gut_x.x.x._(Build xx).fpspkg or
    Hog3PC-Win32-golden_x-x-x-xx.msi.

    downloaded file does not have that suffix, as per previous post.

    2. Copy the file to external media such a CD, Zip disk or USB Flash drive
    (note that flash drives are not currently supported by the Wholehog
    III console).

    done. not sure if any of those burners are for macs. have burnt disks in mac finder, toast and windows. mac disk utility will make .iso disks from disk images but not fpspkg files, that's not how it works or what its for.

    3. Start the Wholehog software.

    done
    4. When the Start window appears, press the Software button, located on
    the bottom of the Start window.
    done
    5. Insert the CD, Zip disk or Flash drive containing the upgrade file.
    done
    6. Select CD-ROM or Zip as the source of the upgrade file, as appropriate.
    done
    7. Select the file containing the software version to upgrade, and press
    OK.
    then the problems begin....

    8. Wholehog OS will continue with the upgrade without further interaction.
    Note that this may take several minutes. After it finishes the upgrade,
    Wholehog OS will restart.
