Web updater (can't open the program)

 

Can't open the web updater program I just downloaded from the Garmin web site. Has anyone else had this problem?

Not me...

..and I haven't heard of others with the issue either.

What happens when you try to start Webupdater?

Are you using a PC or Mac--and which operating system version are you using?

Did WebUpdater install but won't run--or does the installation fail?

Your webupdater came from here, right?

I found the problem. I was missing some windows components that i downloaded from microsoft and it fixed the problem.

I know that Garmin's map updates often fail to install due to missing MS .NET Framework software or .NET's file corruption. I'm not sure if it could also mess up POI Loader usage. What I have found is that missing or corrupt .NET Framework issues with Garmin software often result in failure without meaningful error messages.

Have you checked your PC for Windows updates? Have you checked your Windows Update History looking for failed updates? What version of Windows are you using and what, if any, version(s) of .NET Framework is/are on your PC? Do you get any error message when trying and failing to run POI Loader?

Are you running POI Loader as Administrator? This may be needed as well.

These links may help, but keep in mind that I don't know if .NET Framework is needed for POI Loader (as it is for map updates):
