PROBLEM:
The following error message appears when launching eLink for Windows:
"A valid TerminalCharts directory was not found. Would you like to browse for it?"
The error may reoccur after clicking Yes, selecting the C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts directory, and clicking OK:
The following error will appear after clicking No:
Plug-in Initialization Errors
'TerminalData.dll' failed on provider initialization. Failed to initialize TC db [C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts\] Improper or corrupt Terminal Chart data...
CAUSE:
A problem was encountered during an update to the terminal charts database, which prevented the Jeppesen Update application from extracting the new terminal charts database to C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts. This can occur if eLink is launched while the Jeppesen Update is installing the new terminal charts database. Do not launch eLink while the Jeppesen Update is updating terminal charts and text.
Possible error: The TermChart folder 'C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts' contains no data!
RESOLUTION:
Copy the contents of C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalChartsTemp to C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts, selecting 'Replace the files in the destination' if prompted that the destination has files with the same names.
NOTE: The ProgramData folder may be hidden, in which case you can type C:\ProgramData in the location/address bar at the top of File Explorer and press the Enter key to open it, or click View > 'Hidden items'.
If a TerminalChartsTemp directory does not exist, check the Date Modified on each of the TerminalCharts folders (TerminalCharts.0, TerminalCharts.alt), and copy the data from the one that was most recently updated to the primary TerminalCharts folder. Relaunch eLink.
CAUSE:
The registry key for the Terminal Charts path is pointed to a different folder than the one that received the charts update.
