| The instructions in the V600 V2 package states V500 V2+ and not V600 V2. (maybe the wrong file, or a copy and paste without correcting the info). As the instructions file relates to the V500 V2+, can you you please confirm that the "C:SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET" command is also correct for the V600 V2.

| the .exe in the v600 package is the right one, this is the instructions file that was false, sorry ! Now it's should be corrected. noromupdate quiet is the right instruction, yes. skipromupdate will certainly hang the system at boot.
