RB Utility not recognising Sansa Clip+ 8 gig

[markst33]

I received my new Sansa Clip+ 8 gig yesterday and I have been trying to install Rockbox utility on it.

When I download the zip file as per the instructions and extract the clppa.bin file and then navigate to it I am getting the messages :

Downloading Bootloader file
Download finished (cache used)
[ERR] OF File provided is Clip+v1 version 01.02.15, not for Clipv1
Could not load
C:/Users/stewart/Downloads/clppa.bin

So it appears as if the utility is not recognising the player as a clip+. 

How do I get around this ?

No.

Rockbox Utility complains because the Original Firmware file you provided has been detected as a firmware file for a Clip+, but the selected player is a Clip v1. There is an important difference between Clip and Clip+. Please make sure to select the correct player and provide a firmware file for that player model, not another one that might sound similar.
