Scanner Updates by computer

I have a BC396T and am going through the update process. Everything was going fine until I came to the VU 2. update. When I start that update it says point to the uniden firmware files on my computer. I went to program files but can not locate firmware files ending in .scn. I did a search of my computer and did locate a uniden firmware file ending in
.scn but when I point to it it opens up a video program I have on my computer??

would appreciate any help I can get here. Thanks!

The file that it is looking for is the NEW firmware file that you should have also downloaded. It downloads as a .zip and generally puts it in a temp internet folder. Just keep the windows open when you download the file and unzip it, and you can point right to it regardless of where it is.

I tried that but it does not appear to be anywhere. The selection page is blank and tells me at the bottom to select the .scn file. I have searched my computer and there is no .scn files for Uniden.
Any other suggestions? I appreciate you taking the time to help me. This is very frustrating

Are the updates really all that important? The scanner seems to be working just fine.

Go back to the Uniden website. and download the new firmware file. Then save it to your desktop.
