zumo 550 map update problems

First of all, hi! This is my first ever posting on here. I have had a zumo 550 since it was released and in spite of a couple of glitches, have never felt a need to upgrade or change, however, the latest issue is driving me mad!

I am trying to update from the 2011 UK and European map-set without success. I have had the usual issue of the whole European map-set is too large so I have been selecting regions for my zumo 550 and I am trying to download the whole UK and European map-set to my Windows 7 PC.

Unfortunately, I get an error message for the map region I am trying to upgrade my zumo 550 with and right at the end of trying to download the whole map-set to my PC I get the message as seen in the screen shot.

    I am sorry that you are having trouble installing your maps to the computer. Please try to manually install the maps:

    • Press the Windows Key + E
    • Type %programdata% and press the Enter key
    • Open the Garmin Folder
    • Open the Core Update Service folder
    • Open the MAP-EU-2015-20 folder
    • Open the IMG folder
    • Double-click the CityNavigatorEuropeNT2015.20Update.msi file (the ".msi" may be hidden)
    • Follow the on screen prompts to install the maps
