If kunix's cure doesnt work too, send Alexander a pm.

If kunix's cure doesn't work, you should try erasing NV memory first, using pre-boot mode. I will tell you how

@ kunix
Know well that my question is more or less off-topic to the thread, but would you be so kind to describe how to clear NV using pre-boot mode?
Would be very nice if your short tutorial become a part of Tutorials list.

It's easy. You just prepare update.txt with rrgn,41,1:/41.bin and xrgn,41 commands and then execute it as suggested here:

But I'm pretty sure that patching boot.bin is too hard for an average user. Also on very new devices like dezl760 SD card is accessed as 2:/, not as 1:/.
So it would be better if there were some program for automating all the actions above.

Also I still planning (for at least one year already!) to create all-in-one cure which would with just one click format NV (while preserving some important records) and format the internal flash drive by uploading a patched boot.bin in pre-boot modde.

This error indicates that GarminCure3.exe couldn't execute Updater.exe in the folder which contains GarminCure3.exe. So make sure Updater.exe is present in the same folder as GarminCure3.exe. Also try copying both files to C:\.
