Basecamp won’t open and wants to uninstall

Hi hope someone can help! 

Ive just download basecamp and it works fine until I close down my computer then when I start it again and open basecamp it brings up a box saying Modify Setup and my only options are Uninstall or close, if I close it shuts it down and if I uninstall it obviously uninstalls the programme. I’ve have tried uninstalling and downloading again but get the same problem. Anyone have any ideas how to fix?

    The file you download is for installation.  I am guessing that you are trying to open BaseCamp by opening the downloaded file a second time.  If you click on the start menu (window panes on lower left of your screen) you should see a list of applications.  If not, look for and click on the 3 bars at the top left).  Scroll down to the G and open the tile that says Garmin.

    From here, you can:

    Left click on BaseCamp to open the file

    Right click on BaseCamp to:

    1. Pin to Start to create a tile on the right side of the start window

    2. more and Pin to taskbar to access it from the bottom bar

    3  more and open file location, then right click on the shortcut and choose create a shortcut.  You cannot create a shortcut in this folder, but it will ask you if you want to create a shortcut on the desktop, so click yes if that is your preference.

    The application resides in the Program Files (x86) >Garmin>BaseCamp folder.if you wish to create a shortcut from there.
