Garmin Trainer not recognized

[BillCox]

I was having autopilot issues using the GTN750, so I tried reinstalling the trainer and then the TDSGTNxi.  Now the installer doesn't see the trainer (I've opened it and used it) and won't load the simulator.  Also, before I did the trainer download, when I could still install the simulator it would only load 1.0.2.2, not the recommended 1.1.0.3.

Hello Bill,

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with installing the TDS GTNXi, we are here to help.

As a first step, please let us know of the exact error that you are having with the trainer installation.
If you already have the base Aviation Trainer Launcher installed, then start it, access the Version Manager tab, scroll down until you find GTNXi PC Trainer V20.30.8 and click on Install.

In regards to the outdated version, please start the TDS GPS Manager as an administrator (right click on the executable, select Run As Administrator), then attempt to install the TDS GTNXi V1.1.0.3. Important note: the TDS GTNXi must not be running for a successful install, so it may be a good idea to reboot the PC before.

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi! Another user with the same problem here.

I have the Garmin aviation trainer installed. I go to Version manager but cannot find GTNXi PC Trainer V20.30.8 The closest I can find is GTNXi (V20.42.2.0)

As for TDS GPS manager - I can download this but Bothe Windows Defender and Macafee block the app as dangerous and has a virus in it.

What next?

[EDIT] AH! I DISABLED MACAFEE FIREWALL AND VIRUS SCANNER
