Rockbox Ports are now being developed for various digital audio players!
After installing bootloader, trying to install Rockbox as per instructions in Sansa E200RInstallationFromWindows. I get to step 9 (download) follow the "here" link and end up on a page with rbutilqt as the only way to do it. I download rbutilqt.exe to the Desktop and start it. I try to Auto detect my device but no. So I enter drive :K and e200 and it shows the main Utility display.
This is the first error: if autodetection fails you won't be able to installl the bootloader for sansas. In your case, as you have an e200r you can't install the bootloader using Rockbox Utility. This is listed as open issue on its wiki page ... you need to use e200rpatcher instead.And Rockbox Utility is not "the only way to install", nor does the mentioned page say that.

I saw it and I tried not to use rbutil. I then found specific instructions for the Rhapsody Sansa and used those to succesfully load the bootloader using e200patcher, which then told me to go to Step 2. So then (I am still following the instructions specific for a Rhapsody Sansa) and it links me to a page via "here" where I am supposed to find a Rockbox (installation?) zipfile, unzip it to the root of my device, reboot and I should be on my way. However the "here" link puts me on a page of the Rb Utility,which supposedly makes it easier way to install. The page did not show a "more difficult" (?) way of downloading the zip file.
I just checked the "SansaE200RInstallationFromWindows" wiki page, and clicked the "here" link and it did not link me to rbutility. It linked me to http://build.rockbox.org/, from which I can select the e200 zip.
Yes the link"here" does lead to http://build.rockbox.org/ but there it says "for a stable build get Rockbox 3.0" and when you follow that link it will put you to the Rb Utility page.
[This is still wrong -- this page is similar to the main download page, and you can download the build for every player. But anyway, for installing Rockbox itself you can use Rockbox Utility -- just not for the bootloader, and you can't use the "Quick Start" tab. If you select your player manually (and choose the e200), then use the Installation tab and the Install Rockbox button. This will only install the main build, and it will allow you choosing between the latest release and the most recent build.
