GE update reports: "Un-Supported 16 Bit Application"

 

Went to Update GE today (From V 4.3.0.0 to V4.4.0.0)...and I got this Message:

(Path) GarminExpressInstaller.exe cannot start or run due to incompatibility with 64 Bit versions of Windows.
Please contact the Software Vendor and ask if a 64 bit Windows Compatible version is available.

I'm not doing anything different than ever before!!!

I finally sent it as a bug to Garmin Folks...

A 2689LMT in both our cars that we love... and a Nuvi 660 with Lifetime Maps that we have had literally forever.... And a 2011 Ford Escape with Nav System that is totally ignored!

The pending software update

The pending software update worked on 2689LMT, but still cannot update the GE Program.....
Anybody else seeing this?

I just tried to update..

I'm using windows 7 on this computer and loading was stopped.
"The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction" I have problems downloading updates everytime on this computer though.

I also installed it for the 1st time on my laptop using 64 bit windows 10 and it installed without a hitch.

This issue has been reported by a couple of users over on the Garmin forum (maybe you are one of these users?), but so far the Garmin Express customer reps haven't responded: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?365365-Problems-upd...

Will not update

Garmin Express 4.2.0.0 is installed on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. The computer is in top shape. I tried to update GE to 4.4.0.0 and it did not display any error message but hung. After 10 minutes I used Task Manager to close Garmin Express. Tried to restart the computer and it will not shut down. Used the reset button.

I recommend that members not update GE until the bug is fixed.

Thanks JanJ!

Well ....

... updated on both my Win7 desktop and Win10 laptop without a hitch, so it's not a universal bug. May be something to do with particular systems so the Express team may have trouble tracking it down. Best bet for those with issues will be to call Garmin Support so they can if necessary look at your system in detail.

P.S. Tried to post there... But though my account is active, It is old enough I hadn't a Screen Name, and when I did, I became not worthy to post....

64 bit issue

@JanJ ... I don't know if it will help, but one thing you could try is to download the Garmin Express installer directly instead of trying to use the update function from within your current copy of Garmin Express. I seem to recall that being a solution back in the days when Garmin Express had frequent install issues. I think this is the correct link: http://software.garmin.com/en-US/express-download.html#win

right

Right - Thanks alandb. I had forgotten. Will try to download from your link tomorrow morning.

Thanks again to alanb. Prior

Thanks again to alanb.

Prior to trying the link Alan posted, I tried again to update from the program, and when that failed (as before), I then tried to run the installer that was downloaded into Temp File as posted before.... That, Too Failed.....

Then I tried the link in alanb's post... THAT WORKED FINE!!!

Must have been something either in prior version code, or wrong file was downloaded by it during the update via program.....

dobs108 --- try it!!! It worked here!

Thanks All...

Alan, I'll swipe your download link and post over at DSLR, as there were people there with same results as I...

Great!

I am glad that method worked for you JanJ. I posted back in the Garmin forum about your success so the folks over there having trouble can try the same thing. I suspect the Garmin Express team will address this issue when they return to work next week.

installation problems

This sort of problems happened before. And once automatic update failed there was impossible to get it to work again.

One solution was to do, as alandb wrote above. But if you still will have problem with update try to uninstall current copy of GE, and they run fresh installation. Just remember to backup data from GE first if you have any.

I thought of this after

I thought of this after fixing the issue....

I wonder if: I had deleted the installer file from the TEMP folder, if it would have then downloaded a good one?

Can't try it now.... but would have been interesting to try.....

GE update

I had the same problem.......what solved the problem for me was to remove GE (I used Revo-uninstaller) and reinstalled the updated version w/o problems.

No issues

While reading here about some peps problems, I knew I didn't have a problem with the download thru GE.
Win 10 64 bit on desktop and Vista 32 bit on laptop.
I then checked GE and I last downloaded version 4.5.0.0
on both machines.
