Win7, is so smart its stupid. It knows if the files were created via another computer (duh, they had to be created somewhere), and it will not let the computer run/install them if they stay encrypted.
- Download the Rev3 Driver from: http://procedetuning.com/BMW/n54/dow...0Installer.zip
- Unzip the file to the location of your choosing.
- Notice if the unzipped folder is GREEN or BLACK
- If its Black, then you should be able to install without issue. If its GREEN then follow the rest of these directions.
- Right Click on the GREEN folder which contains the driver installation files.
- Select properties.
- Click Advanced button in the General tab.
- UNCHECK the "Encrypt contents to secure data" box.
- Select the OK box.
- Apply the change and select OK to close the dialog.
Here is where we are going to change some things to allow a "success" or "fail" message for the install.
- Open the Driver Installation folder.
- Right Click on the Setup file and select "Open With..." Choose NOTEPAD.
- Where is say [Install Quite Mode] ... Change the word 'On' to 'Off'.
- Choose the File Menu, and select SAVE ... NOT SAVE AS!
- Turn off your network/internet connections.
- Run the PreInstaller.
- A dialog should open now, instead of the program doing nothing.
- Choose OK to all the prompts, do not change any values.
When the setup completes, you will get hopefully get a success message. If you do, plug in your USB, and allow the driver to recognize the hardware, and install itself.
That should be all.
Took me about 3 hours to figure all this out after trying MANY things. Hopefully it will help out someone else.
I may have left out some peices, but I tried so many things, I'm not sure if any other steps helped make this a success. Give it a whirl and let me know how it goes.

Nice. When I get around to it I'll try it out. It's a PITA to have to go to WinXP virtual everytime I want to connect to the procede.
