This has been available for a couple of months now but thought I'd share the info here.

It is now easily possible to have ISTA-P and ISTA-D running natively on a modest laptop without multiple virtual machines.

Although slightly out of date, software is now at v54 I believe, it's very powerful. I still use Standard Tools for most things but ISTA-D is a great diagnostic tool. The native install can be updated by simply replacing the ISTAP folder from a newer version. WSM will not be updated of course and ISPI NEXT will soon take over anyway.

Best of all, both work with a £30 K+DCAN cable. Albeit ISTA-P will require a free ICOM Emulator.

I have tested this on a 500gb HDD 8gb RAM laptop running win7 x64. Results are very good. Don't worry about ISTA-P MOST requirement. With expert mode you can select which modules you program.


Download is via torrent:

Notes:

Unblock the rar archive before extracting i.e right click > properties > click "unblock".
Use WinRAR V5 to extract.
Ediabas 7.3 needs to be installed
Disable firewall to avoid blocking issues - This is not needed as you can allow all service requests access when the popup appears.
Voltage constant has been added - to remove this form Emulator use:

---------

Delete IFS.ServicesImplementation.dll in:

\apps\ISTA-P\Taurus\ISOM\bin\

then rename _orig_IFS.ServicesImplementation.dll to IFS.ServicesImplementation.dll

-----------

Compatible with Chinese ICOM A1 & ICOM A2, Original ICOMs and Emulator will need registering


Basic Instructions:

***Setup your HDD into 3 partitions C - D - E***

C or D can be used as the main install location.
If you choose C for main install then D and E need only be 2GB partitions.


1. Put the large "apps" folder in the root directory of disk C:

C:\apps

2. Copy the file "WindowCleaner.exe" to C:\Windows\System32\

3. Copy the "ISIS" folder to C:\ProgramData\

Note: ProgramData folder may be hidden. If so go to folder options in control panel to unhide.

4. Copy the "WorkUser" folder to C:\Users\

5. Copy the files START-ISTA.exe and STOP-ISTA.exe to your desktop

6. Rename your Network Card to "Eth0"

7. Write down your PC network card mac address and in file:

D:\apps\WSM\apps\agent\data\DeviceInventory-ISTA_P_53_5_000.xml

change the mac address to match your own

8. Run "Setup.exe" as administrator (also disable your firewall/temporarily disable anti virus)

9. Restart your computer

Notes:

Register your ICOM if needed (ICOM A1 clone is already set up).

Start ISTA using icon on desktop.

**YOU MUS USE 'STOP-ISTA.EXE' after closing the application.

How to run ISTAP native with K+DCAN interface using ICOM emulator

1. Disable firewall.
2. Remove voltage constant.
3. Extract and copy the ICOM emulator xml files to:

*:\apps\wsm\apps\agent\data\

4. In VMware network editor, ensure "VMnet0" is set to "bridged" and your LAN network adaptor is selected in the drop down menu.

5. In VMware network editor, add a new network called "VMnet3" and set it up as shown in the picture below:



Note: Click "apply" and "ok" and close down VMware.

6. Open VMware again and start emulator using the k+dcan snapshot. Once it has loaded up, go to the vm settings and change network adaptor 1 to "VMnet3(host only)". Click "ok" then wait 30 seconds for network to re-initialise.



note: you can now create new snapshot if you want.

7. Connect K+DCAN cable to emulator and car and run "ifhsrv32" using icon on emulator desktop.

note: ensure k+dcan cable usb icon is active in the vm.

8. Start ISTAP native, start a session and choose "ICOM emulator" in connection manager screen.

note: if everything is ok, the led on your cable should start to flash after a minute or so. If not, recheck emulator settings (i.e. com9, latency timer set to 1 etc.).

Is ISTA /D included in the package?

I saw some install guides floating around but they seem to be valid for ICOM. It would be nice if we have a guide suitable for K+DCAN.

Thanks

I won't post links here as mods will take them down but feel free to PM if interested. If there is interest I'll put together an install guide.

Download is via torrent or premium download such as turbobit.

No, however ISTA-D Rheingold is freely available online and uses EDIABAS directly without the need of ICOM emulation.

The instruction for ICOM emulator is exactly the same. However you will have a red dot next to the ICOM emulator in connection manager. To get a green dot you need to register it by creating a couple of xml files. It's pretty straight forward.

[kookie]

In for the installation guide.

[nate5ks]

Sensible, do you have an email? I can't PM you for some reason. nate5ks@gmail.com

[PichaDis11]

Interested as well for the guide. Thank you as well for sharing

[Sensible_]

My time is a little limited at the moment. So right now I think it's best if people go by the txt file instructions in the package and ask any install related questions in this thread?

I've updated post 1 with torrent links...

[Meeni]

The archive do open only with WinRAR v5 which is a pay for program. Very annoying when there are so many better compression option that are open source. Just so you know, 7zip will fail opening the files with some very unclear error, took me 2 hours to figure. http://www.ghacks.net/2013/04/29/win...-need-to-know/

[Sensible_]

Your download must be corrupted.

I used winrar with exact same torrent and didn't have to pay anything. Not sure what you are doing...

[Meeni]

Nop, it does decompress fine with Winrar v5, but it's a trial version. Works for 10 days or so. Anyway, didn't meant to sound ungrateful, just giving a warning that the archive may look corrupted, they are not, you just need to use the winrar program (and none other).

[qwojtus]

Can I put sp-daten 54 to it and get it work?

[m_fife]

I can't get the magnet to open in Safari...help?

Download uTorrent

[dutch79]

The download is already 35Gb, so I wondered what the total size of the install (main partition A) will be in the end. For B and C it's adds another 2+2Gb.

[dutch79]

Also interesting would be if this works with the one-stop-shop-cable (http://www.one-stop-electronics.com/...&product_id=16) for sure, as a lot of people here bought this expensive adapter because it works with all BMW software.

There isn't anything to actually click on like there normally is for this type of link.

[Sensible_]

Download uTorrent go to File, then select Add Torrent from URL. Copy the magnet link then paste it there...

Ok I'm starting to feel a little silly, however I keep getting this error. I'm sure to remove all spaces from when I paste it in. Is there a direct torrent link anyone has??

Sensible_ thanks for the link however the one you sent me is for ISTA-P. (Your box is full).

[Sensible_]

Ah ok sorry. I'll send you the emulator one later tonight.
