Hi, Newbie here.

I install a ETKA 7.4 with 950 outdated database, then use ETKA online update tool 1.5 to complete download all the latest database up to vw1009 au1009 sk541 se535. When I open ETKA program and click Update, it started extract and copy all the database until it prompt out a message:
"Dear sir/madam, This data can only be processed by the latest version of Etka..." If I click the Update in ETKA program again, it will start all over until the message prompt out. Please guide me here. Thank you very very much!

Hi,
Had the same problem.
Advise: completely uninstall ETKA and remove possible reg keys with CCleaner if you want to be sure, restart and install ETKA again. Then download all updates automatically with the perfect batch program 'ETKA Online-Update 1.05.exe' of flaskgordon82 and then...
... STOP and read this carefully:

You should NOT to install all 55+ updates per brand in one go, but in batches of about 5 per update. Around AU(DI) update 1000 (not sure about the other brand updates, I only need AU) the update of ETKA to 7.4 plus is also recognised and installed in update process. This is needed before you can proceed with the remaining updates above 1001 and higher.

Important: the batch of flaskgordon82 copies all available updates into ETKA's Update folders. This is fine if you only have a few, but in many cases doesn't work for ETKA if there are many content- and program updates together to manage like in the initial major update.

Therefore to keep ETKA from (unsuccessfully) installing ALL these 4x55+(!) updates in one go from the 4 locations \ETKA\DATA\AU-SE-SK-VW\Update\ the first time you start it up or press the Update button, you FIRST need to remove all updates from these folders and store them in a safe place, BEFORE you start up ETKA for the first time!
The first five updates of the brand you (primarily) want can be copied back/ left in its Update folder. After the first batch of 5 updates you feed ETKA the next 5 and so on until you've installed all you need to get at least one brand up-to-date to make ETKA work.

Sometimes an errorbox pops up during installing of the updates. Don't worry ETKA will recover where it left if you press the Update button again. Strangely some updates only finish succesfully if you exit ETKA while it is updating itself!

This should make it work for you too! Good luck Rob
