Charles, this is so interesting. Last fall, before going to England, I had moved absolutely everything off the flash disk of the Pk, and we only have a couple of files on it now. Thanks for this most interesting and informative tip. I suspect that the whole file had not downloaded in my initial download.

Kathy,
Occasionally when downloading files off the Internet you don't get the complete file even though Microsoft says it downloaded the file you only get about 40% of the file, sometimes 80%, usually you get 100% but if you don't your file size you download will be smaller that the actual file size and then when you try to install it well you don't have the entire file so it is corrupt and fails in a strange way. Eg "Not enough storage space to continue".
The reason why it says this message is the install program is trying to install a file with no END MARKER because you didn't get the complete file originally so basically its trying to install a file with unlimited size because it can't find the end of the file marker, so it says: well the BrailleNote doesn't have unlimited memory so it fails with not enough space to continue. It really should say, file is corrupt and not allow you to install it at all but well the install packager is a Humanware product we use so unfortunately there is nothing I can we can do except explain the different scenario's why you would get this message. If you have a good download of the install package (i.e the downloaded file size matches the file size on the website) and you still get this message it usually means that your FlashDisk is full, ie we are trying to install a file that is lets say 1 Megabyte and you only have 700K left on your flash disk because you filled it up with books or wav file memo recordings.
When your file size doesn't match the website, try redownloading, if that doesn't help which sometimes happens this is another Microsoft bug where it caches the incomplete file size and it doesn't matter how many times you try to download the 1.3 Megabyte file it always returns only 700K of it. When that happens you have to clear out your Internet cache in your browser and this usually does the trick on the next download and you finally get the complete file. 

Hope that all made sense.
Take care
Charles.

You mention two mPower files, two different sizes. Am I confused or what? Am getting my upgrade on a 16 gb cf card from Sendero. 
Thanks.

When upgrading to Sendero GPS 5.0X make sure the file you download is
the same size listed on the site.  If you try and install a product
that is not the correct size you will get the message Not enough
storage space to continue.  For example the mPower file is listed at
1.7 MB and your mPower file is 400 KB.




First check the free disc space remaining on the BrailleNote's
internal flash disk (not the Compact flash card.)
You should have around 4 MB free to install GPS.
