Then re-boot, then install the map-installer of choice. If not in the Windows program list then we would Delete the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Garmin\MapInstall" directory. On the older 4.7.x you had to manually un-install map-install- if it is in the Windows program list look for Garmin MapInstall 4.2. I don't know if the latest BC 4.7.2 is different but on the older BC 4.7.x it didn't automatically remove the old map-install or update the registry. The old command line /regserver "fix" that once worked is no help. I don't really use the old BC features very often and it looks like MI 4.2.2 fixes the problems that the earlier MI 4.20 had when installing third party maps.ĮDIT: FWIW, the Google Earth link that worked a couple weeks ago in BC 4.6.2 does not work now. That is the MapInstall version I started with, so I don't know if it was overwritten by Express or if Express simply failed to change the program. Instead, I was left with BC 4.4.6 and MapInstall 4.0.1. Those are the versions I would have expected Express to install. In researching the trouble, I found that Windows BaseCamp 4.7.2 and MapInstall 4.2.2 were both released June 11. Express installed the older BaseCamp version on both computers. The netbook is Windows 10 Home 32 bit, upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1 and then to Win 10 as soon as it became available. It was new in 2018 so it has never used an older Windows version. Was your computer a win 98 or win 7 update to win 10? If so BaseCamp might still see it as an old legacy system as I think 4.4.6.was about the last BaseCamp version that worked correctly on the legacy systems.įWIW, I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on the desktop. If you turn off, or disable, BaseCamp internet access you won't have to keep refusing update attempts. I sent Garmin an email through their support page to describe the issue - no response yet. I expected I would be re-installing 4.6. to get rid of the newer 4.7, not a much older 4.4.6. The 4.7x changes were mostly to remove functions that they did not want to support - like the Google Earth linkage. I only agreed to the BaseCamp download today because (a) I was not given an option to opt-out, and (b) I have my 4.6.2 installation file backed up in three different locations. I've been refusing the attempts to "update" to 4.7.x for quite some time. My 4.6 database was intact, but BC 4.4 could not "see" it. Mostly, I did not want anyone else to have that heart-skipping moment when they open BaseCamp and see that all their routes are missing. If you don't turn off internet access it will try to update to 4.7.2 (or even later)
