FlyGarmin won't open to update database.

[MooneyMike]

Howdy everyone.  A couple days ago I decided to check to see if any new updates were in affect and found the flyGarmin app would not open. flyGarmin is the blue box you check before loading the new updates on the SD card.

It worked on 12/14 and when digging through Windows I saw a Windows Security updated on 12/16.  Of course I was unable to go back to a previous windows version as it had been more than 10 days since Microsoft broke my Garmin.  

I've uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, swore at the pos, and it's still broke.

Event viewer shows a fault every time I try to open it.

Anyone gone through this and resolved it?

Thanks everyone, fly safe and fly often

Sorry, I'm a Mac user.  FlyGarmin does have a computer app that is required for the Mac when an update is available.  Does the webpage flygarmin.com open?

Are you saying you uninstalled "flyGarmin for Windows" and then downloaded and installed "flyGarmin Desktop" from the fly.garmin.com website and it still won't run?

[MooneyMike]

PT20J, I uninstalled flyGarmin for Windows as that would not open and still does not after re-installing it. The version number has not changed.

…. swore at the pos, and it's still broke.

Other than suggesting this, I got nothing.

Looks like I've got a corrupted file or the registry link is broken.  I've tried to fix it using the standard tools so far.

I tried every trick I knew to fix this thing to no avail.  The event viewer showed some windows updates about the time the thing stopped working but even going into regedit and making changes did not help.  Seems the issue was more than just in Garmin's software.

Garmin has now released something called Garmin Aviation Database Manager and it is quite different than the previous program.  Installed it and I am now working again.
