GE will not re- load " Already Installed " message Win 11

This is for Windows 10 so you may need to modify the process slightly.

Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\.  Using the search at top right find the file GarminExpressInstaller.exe.  Establish the full path to this file.  In Windows 10 you can use the toolbar by right clicking it and selecting Copy address as text.  In my case, and yours will be different it reads C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{9c7ffc5d-200e-4c88-8745-95a5eb7f6cdf}.  Once you have that full addresst hen go to an elevated Run command (select run as administrator) and paste in a command similar to that below which is for my Garmin Express. Paste it exactly as shown, quotation marks etc. but replace my folder name, the part that starts with {9c7ff... with your folder name.

"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{9c7ffc5d-200e-4c88-8745-95a5eb7f6cdf}\GarminExpressInstaller.exe" /uninstall

and paste it in the Run command window and click OK then follow the prompts.

Thanks for all that

I went to the areas you mention and there is no mention of GE

Going to the Package Cache section, typing in Garmin does not find anything in search area under  Win11

However I clicked on each line and only found Basecamp

Reading  your helpful instruction it I think   implies that GE is installed.. In my case I think I have uninstalled it or thought I had 

There is something lurking somewhere which is telling Win 11 GE is still there but it is not

The only thing I found was some GE log files but I doubt if those would be a trigger or block really

I have gone through all the Register lines I think appropriate but to no avail

Any other suggestions please

Mike

After making a backup, I would use the tools within the Registry Editor to find and remove entries.  An alternative would be to follow the procedure at Uninstalling GE

Yeah !!  Sorted !  Thanks John

so

I had already done your second suggestion and "uninstalled" GE   according to Win 11

This where I started with this thread

As suggested I did the Registry Backup

Then went to Regedit > Edit > Search     looked for " Garmin express"

There were loads of entries in different sections

Some seemed to be just a Name index both for GE and Garmin Ltd but  more were old versions previously installed hidding in those  files with 30 letters digits

there were two versions of the latest GE 7.22.1.0

Zapped all those linnes and entries and any other the Search dished up

Held my breath, rebooted and it went for a clean/new instal

It even still had all my Device Data

So,  good to go!

Thanks again John

Best

Mike
