I got the latest garmin XT from the garmin site for my Tilt, and ran the installer on my pc. usually, when i put the memory card into the device, it automatically pops up with a window and asks me if i want to install it and where.

not this time though. and now i cant figure out how to actually install it. every file that i pick from the garmin files on the memory card doesnt actually install it properly. it doesnt show up in the programs screen, nore does it even come up in the manage programs screen. it works, but i have to use file explorer to actually launch the exe. its not really installed!

im using the L26 V8 lite rom.

please help!

I had the same problem on my tilt, I am using death v4 for my rom. I thought that I accidently downloaded the nokia verson or something cause nothing looked normal after it "installed". I don't know what to do either

Just info really...i'm on dutty's June release and Garmin installs and functions fine. You might want to consider this plus the latest SPL with being ROM being very smooth.

i have the latest hardspl. dutty's latest releases are too buggy.

just tried it with L26 V7, same.

No one knows how to properly manually install??

Did it create a folder on your storage card called 2257? If so, is there an autorun file in there?

Yeah the 2257 folder is there, tried to run the autorun file, still didnt actually install it

hmm thats odd.. are you sure you have all the right files in the Garmin folder on your card?

Take your storage card out, then put it back in. Does autorun start?
