The following error will appear after clicking No:

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. The following message may appear at the end of the Jeppesen Update process:

The update completed with errors.

The TermChart folder 'C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\Common\TerminalCharts' contains no data!'

This can occur if JeppView is launched while the Jeppesen Update is installing the new terminal charts database. Do not launch JeppView while the Jeppesen Update is updating terminal charts and text.

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 JeppView.



CAUSE:
The registry key for the Terminal Charts path is pointed to a different folder than the one that received the charts update.

RESOLUTION:
