And the major changes that fixed something that wasn't broke?

[sussamb]

No change log yet so no idea. Probably correcting issues with fitness devices, that's what most updates are for.

Greetings
Ref my previous posting on the GE4 topic.
Despite checking my .Net settings and versions, I am still getting the .Net message.
HOWEVER I was getting round this, as I found that trying to manually update would bring up the .Net error, BUT surprisingly, if I just left it to update automatically, it updated without error.

But now I cannot use GE at all.
About 10 seconds after I load GE, I get a box telling me that there is an update (5.3.1.0) waiting. There is only one button [OK].There is no [X] or [Cancel] button. But pressing [OK] brings up the .Net error and GE closes.
The Current version on my PC is 5.3.0.0. So the previous auto update worked.
I don't mind waiting for the auto update to work, but now with this new Update box, GE shuts down so if I need to, I cannot continue using even the version I have.

It is either sloppy/lazy programming, they are forcing an update, which fails.

The funny thing is that I have other software that need .Net and they seem to work without any problem.

Try loading directly from their website rather than through Express.

Uninstall GE then reboot and run CCleaner.

Check your .NET installation via Windows or Microsoft update. They have updated a lot of .NET versions recently and I think the latest is 4.6.2 (on a tablet so can't check)

Then reinstall GE. It should identify if .NET is missing and offer to download and install it.


That's what I would do but if you're concerned that GE won't reinstall then your call.

Wonder if they've fixed the 'expresstray' bug that stops that part loading in Win7.

5.3.x was OK but 5.5.x wasn't.

I try it tomorrow.

Failed to update for me from 5.5 as, apparently, I did not have Administrators rights, so I tried to download off of the Garmin site, but that has failed for the same reason.

Now I have no idea what is happening, and trying to find it 5.5 is still on the pc as I have an ordered, and paid for, download somewhere in the system!!

Anyone else get the Administrator notification?

Cheers

Sorry, no. Updated without problem.

Just to check you're not running MS Vista as Garmin no longer support this.
