Sorry guys,
as I wrote in post #188, I did all steps as recommended, but after a successfull upgrade to 8.1 and Audi-updates I am getting a message all the time: MFC application ETKA doesn't work anymore. I tried the installation at least ten times and it ended with this message.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks for helping in advance!

Ok.Here i am again to tell you what i have done for update ETKA 8.0 to 8.1 and make it work fine.

  First i downloaded from another post of KrAzYtHeBoY the archive ETKA Data & Price Updaters [English] [International] and run it.
  I have to say that my ETKA was on VW 1238 and i let the ETKA UPDATER to download all updates and just closed it.
  After this i opened ETKA from my desktop and let it run only the first update before asking me to update at 8.1. (VW 1239)
  For doing this i just moved all installation updates ( c:/etka/data/etc from each folder to a temporary folder at my desktop leaving only the 1239.
  After this, i followed the steps that KrAzYtHeBoY wrote at post #208 and overwrite only files that was the same.
  Opening the ETKA again is in 8.1 and by putting back the update installation files made all updating correctly after restarting again the ETKA.

If my post helps someone a THANKS or REP +1 will be good.

All working but......i have updated brand by brand and after update each brand apears this dll error:


And ETKA doesn´t start. 

Solution:
Copy again this steps
3. Go to C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\Prog and copy all files
4. Paste to C:\ETKA\PROG1 and overwrite all files need
5. Paste to C:\ETKA\PROG2 and overwrite all files need

Now all "at the moment" works fine, i think until new data updates.

I think 8.1 Update isn´t very fine.  

Any idea about it?

If my post helps someone a THANKS or REP +1 will be good. THANKS¡¡¡¡

EtStart -> 'Path not found' error solution

I found this solution from little john's  post (post#37), so feel free to thank his post and give +rep to the guy.

Steps:

1) Once you're done installing Etka 8.0, restart your computer
2) When your system boots up again, DO NOT OPEN THE ETKA SHORTCUT ON YOUR DESKTOP
3) Delete the 'ETKA' shortcut from your Desktop
4) Then navigate to  C:/ETKA/PROG and make a shortcut of the EtStartn.exe and copy the new shortcut to your Desktop
5) After that download the attachment 'ETK8_2018-V1_CORRECTION-INT.rar', extract 'ETK8_2018-V1_CORRECTION-INT.exe' on your Desktop, and double click the file (Credit to isdochegal  for sharing this file. Don't forget to hit the thanks button on his post and +rep him)
Finally, open ETKA from the newly created shortcut on your Desktop.

Note: You have to disable your Antivirus when extracting 'ETK8_2018-V1_CORRECTION-INT.exe', cause some Antivirus software recognize it as a trojan (but it's not).


How to Update ETKA's Data

Check this post by KrAzYtHeBoY's. 

Don't forget to thank KrAzYtHeBoY post and +rep him.

If you get stuck when the setup will request you to install ETKA 8.1:

1. Prerequisite:  The folder "C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\" is available in your ETKA Folder.

2. Copy the contents of the folder "C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\PROG\"   to   "C:\ETKA\PROG1\" and overwrite the existing files.

3. Copy the contents of the folder "C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\DATA\"   to   "C:\ETKA\DATA\" and overwrite the existing files.

Found this information on planet-fireball's post#121

4. Copy the contents of the folder "C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\PROG\"   to   "C:\ETKA\PROG2\" and overwrite the existing files.

(Thank you spec80 for mentioning this on your post)

Then once you are done copying the files, try to run the installer C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\ETKA_81_Install.exe. It will fail again with an error message 'No etka8 instalation was found'. Close all the open windows and start ETKA again, it should have the 8.1 version. From there let the system continue with the updates.

Works, thanks

Thanks, hope it installs without issues

I've just downloaded the monthly updates and the message says ETKA 8.1 is available. I downloaded it from the link. When I installed it, it said EKTA not found. I've been using ETKA 8.0 for over 12 months and it always worked.

Anyone else have the same problem?

[Richard32]

i have the same problem!?

[Keithuk]

The problem is if you click continue with update its starts from the beginning with VW again which has already installed. Then Audi you get the same message update to 8.1. Click continue and it installs 2 updates out of the 4 but is shows no continue button.

This is bleeding annoying if the continue update button doesn't show.
