Step 3: Move Rheingold folder
Move the folder to C:\EC-APPS Note: You can place the folder as-well in C:\Program Files, or wherever you'd like. I personally like having it in EC-APPS because its easy to find.
Step 4: Create Shortcut
Create a shortcut for IstaGUI.
Location: Rheingold\TesterGUI\bin\Release
Move the shortcut to the desktop, or wherever you would like.
In this example, I decided to drag the shortcut to my Desktop.
Step 5: Launch ISTA
Once ISTA is launched, complete the setup.

Sorry for the late reply, I managed to get ista d installed and running correctly thank you. I needed to use the Ethernet cable to download in the end. After that everything was a breeze thanks to your clear instructions. I’ve just got Ista p downloaded and now the instructions are gone any ideas when they will be posted back on here? Thanks again

Install appears to have gone smoothly. I will be plugging in to the car tomorrow so fingers crossed. Thank you very much for the invaluable resources you have provided the forum.
Ahh worth a try! It worked for me but it took several attempts and was having the same problem as m5myguy until I saved it to Dropbox before downloading.
If my link is not working it's probably because it's been caught on to from being public. This is why we dm links. I can't upload it as I don't want to be sued by BMW. I paid for that link from somewhere, will pay for another if original link has actually stopped working.
