Jeppesen Services Update Manager v1.1.9.0 (old Skybound USB) works
fine under Vista. I update 6 cards a month with it (G1000 and 530W).

Amen,

What a joke for software development they have.

It took them two years to support XP when it came out. It has now been 15
months since the release of production Vista and there is no timeframe on
their website for support. It says "since this is beta product". Vista 32
bit even supports 16 bit software but Skybound still won't run.

At the very least their software could check for the presence of the USB
adapter and then try to reload the firmware again on it's own instead of
only relying on the operating system services.

They could care less about the customer in that division. They might use
the excuse of "critical" use, and it has to be correct every time. What a
bunch of BS. If you verify the end result with checksums you know it is
correct. I believe that someone is employed who has been there a long time
and they haven't kept up their skills.

Complain to Jeppesen. A lot. They need to fire their whole software
development department and get some guys with real-world experience with
some 21st century technology.
