Downloading GarminMobilePC the software tells me that I need a previous installation on my laptop. Every one tells me to run the MSI and not the EXE. Thing is though that every thing I download that looks like GarminMobilePC is an EXE file. No MSI!

Is there a way to create the correct folder and a file within the folder with the correct filename as needed by the setup program. I know that this trick works with mapsource.

Downloaded EXE file is self-extracting archive.
Run WinRar program, point to EXE file and select "Extract To" (follow on-screen instructions).
Then you will have bunch of files, and one of them will be MAIN.msi, or just MAIN in Explorer (I hate this program) if "Hide known file extensions" is activated (and it is by default).
Run that MAIN (double-click)

P.S.
And please, if problem is in some map or program you downloaded in some thread, post questions in that thread, so other members who are downloading could see question and answer

R.

You can delete these files from the Track Manager by selecting a track and choosing Delete, this is the safest way. You can also connect to your computer and delete .gpx files in [drive]:\Garmin\GPX which have the same name as the tracks you want to delete, but there is some evidence that in some cases an internal reference is still present, meaning that the tracks still show up in the Track Manager.

Verify that deleting gpx files also deletes the internal track, and that deleting the files manually always works
