richardb20 over 5 years ago

First ime for everytime, v2.0 says it's a critical update- but it completely fails to install. Anyone else see this?

How are you trying to install it, my install worked well and this is the first post to say it hasn't worked. Try installing directly from https://www.garmin.com/en-US/software/express/

Note if something…

The version I uninstalled seemed to be updated/installed by Garmin Express Installer. Not sure, if this breaks something somewhere else...

Note if something has screwed up on your PC you may need to do a full uninstall first https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=6nBhfHhXik18XrRU6BfULA&searchQuery=uninstall%20garmin%20express

Thanks for the tip. The direct download installed on one of my PCs, but still fails on the other, Will try a full uninstall.

When mine was installing it went to under the first E in Express and said installing garmin express then sat there for 1 and 1/2 hours before finishing the install. No errors or anything but last several updates for express are taking this long to install. Am running windows 10 version 1909 with latest updates.

Mine with Win10 take a few minutes, maybe an issue with your firewall or ISP

this update is causing me issues, endless syncronisation of a device that is unplugged, very often i have to setup WLAN Access for my devices and Sign In again and of course telling wrong Firmware Version of my Forerrunner 945, instead of 4.00 it tells me 2.80!

Why Garmin releasing it and of course no release notes?

Working fine for me, no issues. Try removing your device from Express and then reconnect it.

OK, i will try tonight, never had probs before!

You need to uninstall VC redistributable and try again. Worked for me.

isn't it part of all those .net updates and different versions?

i hope not, otherwise i have uninstall/update/reinstall and i think, then it will take longer time, or?
