How to do clean installation....

Postby FauSham » Wed Jan 14, 2009 12:26 am

Someone PM me to know, How to do clean installation.
So, this is my guide to you but I prefer shows in puplic for other members share this guide.

Dear bro fausham, :frus: mcmana nk dapat file untuk gps sy yg tk ada error. sy selalu instal ada error.
sy ada 2 jenis gps, 1- 60sx 2. nuvi

tima kaceh bbro :D


If we have more than one GPS Device or we want to create another map to another type of device, we should do CLEAN UNINSTALL.

Let say........
Our first installation for Garmin handheld 60 already in garmin\mfm directory. Do copy gmpsupp.img from hardisk MFM directory to your device.

Then, let say... we want to create another map to Nuvi....
We must clean all file in MFM directory :

HOW TO DO IT?
READ THIS GUIDE

1. We must uninstall old MFM installation and STM file (If exist)

2. Select Uninstall file for MFM and STM in UNINSTALL MENU in your Windows.

3. Follow uninstallation instruction.

4. When we do UNINSTALL, Your MFM Unistall will clean all file in MFM directory except gmpsupp.img. We must do manual delete to this file.

After all file in MFM directory was deleted, we can INSTALL again your MFM Setup file and STM(Topo) to directory.

P/S : Don't do manual upload any *.img files to MFM directory because MFM Uninstallation did not delete that files.
DON'T PUT OR LEAVE ANY UNWANTED MAP IMAGE TO MFM DIRECTORY. THIS IMG FILE WILL MIX WITH NEW INSTALLATION IMG FILE WHEN INSTALLATION PROCESS.
If you know what you'r doing......... so, please do manual delete.

I do it for Nuvi, Que and GMXT but never need to clean up the installation. I just run the MFM installer again and the settings will over ride the first. It works for me... hope you can do that too.... cheers!

76gpsguy, I know that uninstall already in MFM directory but some newbie did't go there :) we can do that way, just click in MFM but some newbie 'blurr' to find MFM directory (refer to my fren laaa :lol: he alwayz blurr).

The above "How to do clean installation...." guide for newbie only, moe :D

We need to do clean uninstall IF we mix many file or alter some file in MFM directory. Some member usually do add additional IMG file in MFM directory and when they try to do setup again, remixing img file could happen and if some img map not so good, some error usually happen in device.

My friend alwayz get some error when do reinstallation and sometime get MFM version error (usually old version still exist) then when I check that problem, he put many unwanted img file (he want to be a mapper :lol: I think) or additional unuse file in MFM and forgot to remove it. So, I think, this guide for my fren and Newbie members will help.
