problem with flashing LHG XL 5 ac
I have 4 LHG XL 5ac which I need to installed AREDN. The first one I had no issue with after using Winbox to change the mode to advance and install-any-version=yes.

Trying to the next 2 I'm having a problem., After making the changes like the first one, and installing the elf file, I select the BIN file and it looks like it is working. however when the install states it is rebooting the ARDEN is not installed.  

All 4 came in the same box.  What step I'm I missing that I did with the first one.

Thank you

My first question is why are
My first question is why are you using WinBox? Use Tiny PXE and follow the link bellow. I think you will have better results!

I staarted with the AREDN doc
I staarted with the AREDN doc/s. Then saw the note that you might have to og the the mikrotik guiu and change it to allow other software. The gui would not let me, so I found that winbox termial would allow me to change to advance and set to install-any-version. As I said I can get the elf install and start the next step with the bin file, but it fails. How the first one correctly installed I can not recreate

I did get the units flashed. 
I did get the units flashed.  I used the sysupgrade V7 on the last three. I'm at a lost as to why the first one flashed with the sysupgrade bin.
That really  sent be down a rabbit hole.

Thanks you you response.
