Select “Ask me later”, this will prevent Windows 7 from automatically installing any updates. After entering your product key, the following screen will pop up security message. I suggest disabling Windows Update automatic updates during the Windows 7 installation process. I recommend starting with a fresh 32-bit Windows 7 installation in order to collect the necessary INPA 5.0.2 configuration files that you will need after installing BMW Standard Tools 2.12. My netbook is used solely for coding and as such this DIY assumes that your computer is dedicated to this purpose as well. This DIY was tested with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (SP1) running on a circa 2008 Lenovo S10 netbook with a K+DCAN cable from one stop. You will see this screen when you run it:

You can just search for OBDSetup.exe using Windows search. Once the install is finished, there will be a folder on your laptop called c:\ediabas\hardware\obd and inside it will be a program called OBDSetup.exe – you need to run this. You need one final step to get it sorted!ġ2. If you try to run it now, it still won’t work because of some duff registry settings. If you didn’t do the “path” setup I described in step 1, you will get another message. You should get an “installation finished” messageġ1. Confirm that you want to start the install (if you’ve previously tried and failed to install, it might ask you whether to delete or rename the existing install – choose Delete)ġ0. Select the interface cable type (the ones on eBay are “OBD” cables)ĩ. Select “complete” for EDIABAS and INPA and click continue (ignore WINELDI / NCS /NFS)Ĩ. Select configuration “BMW Group Rectification programs UK” and click continue (this selection makes INPA run in English which is kind of useful!)ħ. Select the drive to install to and click continueĦ. Run the Instprog.exe program from the \INSTALL\ folderĥ. Unzip the package, either onto laptop directly or onto CD (I used CD so I could move it on to my old XP laptop easily)Ģ. Installing from hard disk (rather than CD) but only on one laptop, not the other.ġ. These two allow me to do what I want to the car so I don’t need the others. I had some problems trying to install the entire suite of programs, but was successful when I kept the install to INPA and EDIABAS.

Reboot (important so that Windows picks up the change to the path) OK OK OK until the system window and control panel are goneĦ.
