BaseCamp 4.3.1 now available and can be downloaded here:

Note that this release does not support XP.

Installation of this version will overwrite your existing 4.2.5 installation and replaces that version of BaseCamp. While I updated my 2 PCs without issue note that some users have experienced issues with this, and recommendation is to uninstall 4.2.5 first then install 4.3.1

Hmmm...removed previous version of basecamp first, installed twice but both times get a "runtime error!". help please.....

[sussamb]

Are you switching off your PC inbetween? Which runtime error are you getting?

There's a whole thread here which may help https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?86914-BaseCamp-4-3-1-is-Now-Available

R6034?

your link to techy for me! Once they start talking about files and what not, Im lost.....

edit: tried a restart but still the same error code

[sussamb]

Not an error I'm familiar with. Confirm you've uninstalled both 4.2 and 4.3 versions of Basecamp? You're on a PC I assume? Where are you trying to download 4.3 from?

[eddieo]

yes on PC. I just uninstalled new version as it was showing up in folder, and tried again (from your link again) and it seems OK this time....Thanks!
