Have and of you experienced trouble installing Brentune's web based software?

Got my bike's first service completed. Last night I began the process of performing the Brentune on my 18. Per their instructional video, I went to their website, resources, mfg, bike, download hand held software, extract the file, install the file, open the application and this is what I get.

I have done this like four times. What I get does not mirror what BT's instructional video illustrates.


This is as far as I can get.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

That looks pretty much as I had. The first thing is to update your reader. Took a matter of minutes. Maybe ten or 15 if I remember correctly.
 
I tried updating and it kept saying it had problems, and then would contradict itself and say it was updated successfully. Tried this like 4 times...??
 
I think I tried two or three times using windows 11. If feels a bit clonky but it eventually worked. I aborted once or twice before having success. Like you, I was beginning to think I might be one of the unlucky few who had problems and needed guidance from the manufacturer but all done now. Main improvement is definitely a smoother ride with less vibration.

Incidently I was instructed by BT by email to forget about updating and to just grab the file from my bike. Of course I cannot do that wout their software properly installed. Btw, I am using Windows 10pro.
 
Wish I could help more. Definitely the weakest part of the whole set up. I wish I had videoed my experience with the pc process as not completely smooth. Uploading and downloading the file to the bike was seamless. Keep the faith, take a break and try again.
 
I try updating after turning Window's firewall off and I continually get this contradiction:

Again, that looks familiar. Have you shut down and restarted to see if the genius homescreen now offers you the other options shown above 'Update'?
