Actually! Thanks to B-Pod I was able to get this working. Here is the Trick he mentioned in a previous post.
"Try this only at your own risk. I'm not a programmer, and I have no special knowledge at all on this topic. I just used curiosity, tips from others and a hunch. It worked on my wife's 2012 Expedition with Nav.
From 'install.lst' I removed the text in red below and left the remaining text as is. This tip came from another forum found by searching the web for 'E1BT-14D546-GA'. Removing this unnecessary text allows the disk to be read, but others reported that the install still failed with a message other than "File Not Found."

Item7 = E1BT-14D546-AA

Next, on a hunch, I edited the text in red below of the 'autoinstall.lst' file to match the files in the SyncMyRide folder.

Item1 = 8L2T-14D546-AF
Open1 = SyncMyRide\8L2T-14D546-AF.CAB (changed to cab)
Item2 = E1BT-14D546-HC
Open2 = SyncMyRide\E1BT-14D546-HA.cab (changed to 'HC' to 'HA' to match the Item2 file in the 'install.lst' file).

Please send the VIN in a PM so I can take a look at the software info.
Got pm will not allow me to reply says I need to post a certain amount of posts or be signed up for at least 10 days before I can send messages pretty ridiculous if u ask me
I have a 2010 F350 with the same issue: file not found in root of flash drive. The Sync support team escalated my issue, but they cannot say when there will be a fix released. Subscribing to the thread.

I understand the frustration. I'll leave it to you if you would like to publicly post the VIN or wait 10 days to send it in a PM.
I tried and tried with no success. Finally this past week , went in for service and dealer Synced mine. New phone & new garage door motors were not reading. Phone is ok, have not tried garage yet.
Just created an account and wanted to post here as a notice that other Fords, apart from the trucks are having this issue too. I'm in the exact same situation as many others here where my 2012 Fusion Sport with basic sync simply won't update, and responds with 'File Not Found'.
I have actually tried the tricks provided by B-Pod and to no avail.
If anyone ever figures out a definitive way top fix this, I'm all ears.
