Is anyone else having trouble downloading the file listed in the first post? I've tried downloading it twice now, and both times it almost completes and then fails.

OP- can a mirror link please be posted?

Interesting! It'll take a look into it. My apologies.

Thanks for doing this! While I was installing it, at near the end I got an error message. "MDS Hash from Global_4.32.12.7z is not correct!" Even tried re-installing it, restarting computer it keeps popping up this message near the end of install after following instructions of same boxes that you checked on the photos.

@phillybeans, @HansGretel I am currently downloading the file, and try and download it on my desktop. If it has the same issue as ya'll, I'll try and do the manual install and see if that works. If it does, I'll update OP w/ Instructions.

 

[phillybeans]

Thanks again! Another question since I don't have an e46, but an F series. Would I choose the direct connection option over the instruction picture of ediasbas.ini?

With F-Series, you use E-Net, Which can be selected in the ISTA Options.

I'll update the OP, w/ instructions.

Issue Confirmed! Thank you @phillybeans, @HansGretel, and @jayjaypetyrs1987 for pointing out the issue with the current ZIP file. It seems like the SQLiteDBs have been corrupted. I will be grabbing the ones from my laptop with working ISTA, and be reuploading the link. I am so sorry for the issue!

Great News! I have found an earlier version 4.01 (Which is compatible with Windows 7).

I learned that versions 4.21 and above is only compatible with Windows 10.

I'll be making some new install instructions for Version 4.01, and readding v4.32 soon as-well.

I apologize for all the frustration, I know its a PITA getting a version to work.

ISTA/P

Or which version would you recommend for the E-Series?

Oh Goodness! My apologies, ill finish the instructions tonight for ISTA/P.

Are you looking to program or diagnose your E-Series?

Dunno why you took down ISTA+ 4.32.1 link? Had installed it on Win 11 (auto setup) and working all fine with INPA and BMW Tools.
To fire it up I had to set ediabas and obd.ini interface and com port and fix VoltageControl dll's for K-DCAN cable because it wasn't installed properply and wasn't working with the cable. All else is fine.

Hi,

I just like to also Thank You for Ista+4.31 which works great, i have tested Ista+ on Windows 10 and BMW E90, E46 with k+dcan cable with switch all works as it should, installation instruction was straight forward. Tested WinKFP for updating modules on E90, inpa for diags, ncs expert for coding, tool32, ista+ all works really good. All i did just added SPDaten 69. Looking forward for instructions for Ista P install for programming. Once again Thanks.

I have not tested ENET yet.

However, I believe you can change the settings to hop back and forth if you click the (wrench/spanner) in the top right when ISTA is loaded.

Then it will show Interface Type:

Edibas Default Settings (edibas.ini) - This is what is currently selected

You'd want to select: Dealer Organization ICOM / ENET Local Area Network (For F-Series, etc)

ok problem solved, firewall and a wrong IP setting on LAN were causing the issue....

now a quick question

My ISTA is 4.14, from 2018, no problem for diagnosis, but in the eventuality that I want to update SW on modules this will use an older Database right?

is there a way to update it without installing a newer version of ISTA?? (like we used to do with SPdaten for standard tools)?

I don't believe you can update without installing a newer version of ISTA unfortunately.
