I was going nuts trying to install Tom Tom on my Treo 650 with the latest Missing Sync. I followed the directions I've found in other postings but it didn't work. The problem is I never run under an account with admin access and the installer for Tom Tom is pretty poorly written.

It needs to install the Tom Tom conduit but doesn't tell you when it can't. If you run as I do, without admin rights, you most likely do not have write access to the conduit folder. You have two options. The first I didn't try, but you should be able to change permissions on the conduit folder so everyone has access. All I did was log in as an administrator and run the tom tom installer there first. Then, I re-logged into my user account, and ran it again. It finally installed to my expansion card.

Hope this helps others having problems.
