Godox v860ii firmware Update

[Irishman]

Has anyone update their Godox flashes, have looked at a number of youtube videos but and made an attempt but have it a snag ( see attached ), anyone anything about this?

You don't use the windows driver installer; you need the Godox firmware installer program (G1 for the V860II). https://godox.com/firmware-launcher-installers/

I suspect you will have Windows core isolation / memory integrity feature preventing the installation of the drivers. I had the reverse issue and solved by deleting a bunch of old drivers, which wasn't quick nor fun. Godox was one of them.

Your options are either 1) disable core isolation (not recommended), and then walk it ALL back after you are done or 2) use virtualbox virtual system for junk* apps like that. (I mean the badly outofdate chicom software, not the flash itself)

I see... sorry, I haven't really operated a windows machine for many years now.

Way over my head there, too complicated for me.

Thanks but will keep it and just use it on Z6 and buy the newer version for my Z6ii, much easier I think.
