The update is corrupted. Unfortunately you will have to wipe everything to recover it. Start by making sure the Optical unit used has had it's laser lens cleaned, the pc used is not connected to the internet and no other program is running when you install the update and reinstall the latest Navteq update once more time.
If this doesn't work then the next step is to reload the firmware

The only thing left - send it to Lowrance to replace the disk and reinstall everything.
