Follow up from my previous thread last week: -software/mac-windows-software/f/garmin-express-windows/294121/garmin-express-7-12-1---install-failed/1420638?focus=true#1420602&ticket=ST-079743-ssseKuEYaGB2c1sBdDJ7-cas
The OP posted a link to a thread, I'll repeat it, -software/mac-windows-software/f/garmin-express-windows/294121/garmin-express-7-12-1---install-failed/1420638?focus=true#1420602&ticket=ST-079743-ssseKuEYaGB2c1sBdDJ7-cas. At the very end of that thread is a fix that worked for the OP. Have you tried that poten tial fix?
Well I found what you and @6586880 are referring to at C:\Users\jwint\AppData\Local\Garmin_Ltd._or_its_subsid\express.exe_Url_44vgoklnmwzol3f5bx0zhrwgflwejvvx. There are indeed 59 folders present, all around 1.6 KB in size and dates as far back as 3 years (when computer was purchased). Is this just another case of Garmin Express not doing well cleaning up after itself? Can most of these folders be deleted?
