Thank you for this guide. I've followed the provided instructions but am still getting "Provided StartKey is invalid" when running ConfigSAssist and attempting to use the Xentry DeveloperV1.1.0 key generator and manually upload the StartKey. I continued following the other steps up through 10 (DAS 0 day) and then copied the standalone full size into the bin directory. I can launch the standalone but cannot change the language to English. I am using the Xentry_Diagnostics_OpenShell_18.7.4 file obtained via torrent and just let the installer do it's own thing. The one I installed did not have "Pass Through" in its name, perhaps I have the wrong installer? I obtained the torrent link for that one via another forum.

I don't know about the licence key issue, but to use english language you can launch DAS with -len switch, i.e. from either commandline or .bat:

DAS32R2sd.exe -len

The -l switch stands for language, en for english. You can use the -l switch for other languages as well.

Great information and it worked. Thank you

there are two model of xentry diagnostic. you have to choose the installer based on your device.

1. Xentry_Diagnostics_OpenShell_18.7.4 installer is used with sdconnect device, xentry connect and MB VCI.
2. xentry Diagnostics passthru is used with passthru device e.g vas5054A

"Provided StartKey is invalid" error usually because of you don't run the "reg" file inside Old key loader for configassist

Thank you. I'm doing this is a favor for a friend of mine and didn't realize there was a difference in hardware.. I'm just the free IT guy after all He has the SD Connect hardware (judging from online pictures).

So, for a bit of good news, I was able to get the passthrough system licensed in ConfigAssist and appearing to work, but of course it complains about the missing SAE J2534 drivers and device because I'm assuming I don't have one to connect to it (drivers would likely be included in the hardware?).

So It looks like what I need is the openshell version, which is only available via mega in the OP, but if I download the torrent linked in this thread: https://cartechnology.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=38886 , is it safe to assume these same sets of instructions will work? That would be great news if so.

Now for the bad news which I'm assuming is unavoidable: I'm guessing these two systems cannot be installed concurrently, so I'm looking at another OS wipe and reinstall once I pull XDOS (Xentry OpenShell) version down?

Edit: Oddly enough I see that the original install package listed both XDOS and PassThru in the filename , but I don't recall seeing a menu to select one or the other when running start.exe. Note, running setup.exe on the ISO just asked me to use start.exe once the pre-requisites were done installing.
