Thanks for your response. I've replaced the correct file. I must have some sort of conflict on my XP/X86 system that is doing me in which I'll have to figure out. I've learned a little more about the problem.
I can even make the original download Mapinatal 4.0 from the garmin website fail on my system. If I run the Garmin original version it functions properly AS LONG AS there is no SD card installed in either in the GPS or in my USB card reader. Trying to run mapinstall with an SD card IN EITHER the GPS or my USB card reader, causes the Garmin original version to fails during the process of identifying devices. It fails exactly as the patched version does for me.
Interestinly enough, if I insert an SD card anwhere (which contains a valid sd:\garmin\device.xml), the original Garmin mapinstall will work correctly with either. I used a device.xml from another GPS and the Garmin version recognizes them as 2 separate devices.
Mapinstall 3.15.0 and its patched version still work jusr fine. I guess I've got some digging to do.
