This software is available at http://www.sprint.com/downloads. From the drop down box select "Windows CE" and then select "Submit." When the next screen appears, scroll down to "PPC 6700 software upgrade" and then select "download" to download the file.
Customers should download the file to their laptop/desktop. Next, after connecting the PPC-6700 to the laptop/desktop using the USB cable originally included with the PPC-6700, double-click on the downloaded ".exe" file to start the installation process. Then follow the onscreen instructions. The upgrade procedure takes approximately 20 minutes.

Thanks for trying, but....your post is for PC install...the thread is for flashing via storage card.

First of all you need a phone with WM5 on it and a 128mb card or larger. Then use MTTY to download the image to your card. You can do the radio, OD and the Ext_ROM but you have to do each on induvidually. Make sure you turn off activesyc. Put your phone into boot loader mode, start mtty, hit the usb button, enter then enter one of the following d2s 60000000 00800000 is for the radio; d2s 70100000 04000000 is for the OS and d2s 74100000 00a00000 is for the EXT_ROM. once you enter those on Mtty it will download each one to a card. You have to flash each rom induvidually. Copy it down from the one with wm5 then copy it to the other one with wm6. So radio - radio, ext-rom - ext_rom and os - os. To flash them up you just put the sd card into the wm6 phone and put it in boot loader wait for it to say to flash your phone them push the power button. and once you have done each of them you have two matching phones.

A related question: Can you flash upgraded kitchen roms via the mini-sd card as well? I am not even sure where the rom file is stored in the new Kitchen these days.

My apache too has a busted usb port, and I am attempting to limp along with it till the touch pro (or what ever the next sprint phone is) rolls out.

you can flash anything down to a minisd but the files are not able to be read by anything i can fine other than the boot loader. so it has to be done from a phone with the existing rom you want not simply take the file from the kitchen and put it on an sd and there you go. I think the hermes can do that but have not found that you can with the apache as of yet maybe someone else does
