Garmin Express v7.26.0 is available for PC

Thanks, installed fine!

Saw the update and was coming to report it. Updated on two PC's without issue.

Installed ok but weird version number again. Is this the norm now?

Installation appears to have gone well.

Thank you for the information. Have a great week.

it had to update a vc file, but it did so seamlessly. Thanks for the warning

I tried to download but comes up "Unable to load domain" in the advanced section, any thoughts?

Open Express, go to Settings (the small gear at top right), then click on Advanced. Verify that the setting for Garmin Connect Authentication Domain is correct.

Craig, just a hunch but maybe involved the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable files.

I checked Express again under general It comes up unable to load domains .Please try again, my version is now 7.25.+.a13e----.I have no idea.

Did you or did you not go to Advanced to check what domain is currently being used?

It comes up under Advanced,Garmin Connect Authentication Domain.Under that unable to Load domains.

What domain (country) is shown? Your profile says you are in Canada. Can you use the drop down to make a change?

Thanks for input but I have just Permanently deleted the app.

Then I wonder, what was the purpose of having it? If a map update comes out that is the most expeditors way of perfuming map updates.

It always worked well and now it doesn't with no reason that i know of.so get rid of it and live with maps that i have now.If they gave a reason that the average person could figure out it might be worthwhile.Si live with it as I won't be travelling to the USA anymore and things do not change that drastic that i cant get close to where i am going. Thank you for your input.

Updated with no problems.

I was getting a .NET installation update failure upon installing Garmin Express v7.26.0...tried all manner of things to resolve (Garmin Express actually installed just fine). Finally, it dawned on me that I had Windows Update Blocker (WUB) blocking any Windows updates...those annoying things that come up at the most inopportune time & mostly when you want to do something quick on the PC. I don't run the PC 24/7.

I disabled WUB and the .NET install went as was intended.

Updated today with no issues.

for the heads up.

Tried downloading it and a message comes up saying "Garmin Express cannot be installed on this computer. Try installing again".

That's weird, it's the same computer that I've installed Garmin Express on for the past 3 years or so and never had a problem.

Update completed. Thank you

What operating system? For instance, if Windows is it 7, 10 , 11 and is the version “Home” “Pro” or “S”.

Windows 11 Home. I've downloaded Express on this computer using this operating system many many times with no issue until now.

These things can be elusive. I suggest you go to https://forums.garmin.com/apps-software/mac-windows-software... and scroll down to mention of a Microsoft Tool and give that a go.

I really dislike things that enable "help me out by running things automagically". It's good to know when that happens so I can disable the stupid "help me" stuff.

Thank you John for your help, I appreciate it. Hope this solution works.

Agreed. In the process, we then need more help figuring out how to disable the help that is supposedly helping us.

I'm a big opponent to all this AI crap that is out there, hogging up space on our devices (iPhones/iPads,etc)...with the exception of the AI used in the medical field.

I've never felt it was something that was missing in my life. I've lived 63 years of my life without it and I'm doing just fine.

I tried to install Express 7.26.0 on my two WIN10 desktops, but both failed. Couldn't find the install package. I then tried to install it on my WIN11 laptop. It installed perfectly. The "fix" for this problem seems complicated. To me, the fact that two WIN10 computers have the same problem, tells me the update wasn't intended for WIN10.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I started this thread and it works fine on my Win10 Pro laptop. There also has been a recent Windows 10 update. Have you done that?

What else, if anything, have you done to remedy the situation? What is the “fix” that you mention?

John,

Yes, both computers are updated regularly. The "fix" I was referring to was deleting a Microsoft Visual C++ file, then reinstalling it. It's been a long time since I had any problems with express. The ones I did have seemed to resolve themselves. Since WIN10 has nearly reached it's end of life, I think some new hardware is in order.

Thanks

Just think of all the perfectly good hardware running Windows 10 that is now (supposed to) go bye-bye because of Windows 11's "requirements".

First and foremost is you will not have a "bricked" Windows 10 PC on the day after Windows 10 end of life which is October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide free security updates, feature updates, or technical support for Windows 10. But if your Win10 functions now there isn't any reason why it won't be perfectly functional on October 15th. The one thing of concern would be anti-virus and malware protection. If you run something 3rd party (Norton McAfee, etc.) you should be covered. I suspect that even if you use the built-in MS Product Defender, it too will be supported.
