Wifi firmware update

Hi all,
As the access through the myghl cloud is no more possible, I have tried to update the wifi firmware. The current I have is 6311 which I understand is too old (the minimum requirement is to have the 6512 version).
I have tried to proceed, as it is explained, using the "Wifi Firmware Update Tool".
After refreshing the port list, the COM7 has been identified and recognized by the tool. I have pressed "start" and immediately a window has open, saying that a non managed exception has occurred and that the access to the COM7 port has been denied. If I press "continue", the P4 switch to "transparent mode" but nothing more happen.
Can you please help me ?
Thanks

Hello,

select COM7 and press identify device. This should show PL4 in the textbox.
Then press start, which opens the command prompt and starting the flash procedure.

Can you execute the file esptool.exe in the 'bin'-subdirectory without seeing this error?

when I press "Identify connected GHL Device" it shows exactly the same messageAttachment 11049

If you click on the devicelist dropdown, there are most likely more COM-ports listed.
You must find out which one is connected to your ProfiLux4.

After selecting the right port and clicking 'Identify GHL device...', PL4 must be shown and you can proceed.

No, COM7 is the right one. I have already checked the device list and there isn't other option.

Make also sure GHL Control Center is not connected to ProfiLux4. The comport must be exclusively accessible by the WiFi-Update-Tool.

Still doesn't work, even after disconecting the P4.
Attached is the screen shot showing the updating tool and the error message. Attachment 11123
Below is the full message that I get by clicking on "détails" :

Hello,

there is a chance your antivirus program is too aggressive and removed the exe file below the folder 'bin', which should contain 'esptool.exe'.
Check this and if not found disable your antivirus progam and unpackage the downloaded tool again.

Unfortunately, it doesn't change anything. I have desactivated everything and it is still the same message!!!

Does the file 'esptool.exe' in the subfolder 'bin' exist?

No, there is nothing in the bin

to the first help. In the attachment the file to copy it to the bin directory

Attachment 11143

regards pit

what is the bin directory?
Is there a relation with the bin where the files cancelled are stored?
I am a Mac user, using a PC only for GHL purpose and do not have any knowledge on IT.
Thanks a lot

This is the subdirectory that was spoken of before. You will find it, if you use the version in GHLControlCenter, here.
C:\Program Files (x86)\GHLControlCenter_V1118\WiFi\WiFi-Firmware-Update-Tool\bin
The file must be copied to this subdirectory

Regards Pit

It is the case, the file is already in the directory. But it still doesn't work.
Help please !

Sorry, it works now ! I did not change anything, except that I tried to open the file you mentionned, prior to launch the update process. Curious, but now it is fine.
Thanks
