I have found the solution to this!
I don't exactly know what causes the trouble, but I think it happens when you run ISTA/P the first time?
All I know is that it worked on my laptops...

Yes... It requires that you install ISTA/P again!
(Maybe even an fresh install with the Admin client and ISTA/D?)
But it don't have to be on the same computer, you want to use it on..
So leave that and either create a VM or just use another physical machine.

After installing ISTA/P (v. 3.56.0.500), DON'T run it!
Just copy these two files to your desktop or somewhere else:
"TaurusClientConfig.xml" in "C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Client\layout\"
and "popupAdministration.xml" in "C:\ProgramData\BMW\ISPI\data\TRIC\ISTA-P\BMW\Client\layout\maskcontent\"

After copying the files, run ISTA/P and check that it works.
Close ISTA/P entirely and then copy back the two files and overwrite them!
Then you can start updating to v. 3.56.1.002 without (hopefully) any problems. (:

(I did a fresh install with the Admin client and ISTA/D on another laptop, but I don't know if that is necessary?)


UPDATE:
I thought that if I can use the files between two laptops, others can use them too...
So I have uploaded them to a temporary location:
http://dickhill.dk/share/BMW/

(They will be moved to a new location, when I get my new server up and running!!)

Yes, I reinstalled ISTA/P also, backuped the files without the big database files, startet ISTA/P ant then compared the changed files. There was only 2 very minor changes in two lines. After that I copied back the original 2 files from backup and than the update could be installed without a problem. I've not tested the installation with a car connected because I'm waiting for the delivery of my icom.

I think the updater checks the MD5 of installed files against the new package database. When finds a discrepancy complains and stop. So, any slight change to any file is catastrophic unless you keep track/backup of files under question. I think if just use the ista/p as normal -that is no patching or any other adjustments- update will work. No time to test that but i will soon.

In my case sangandis ISTA P works fine only with beemerboy88 launcher that's it. Maybe solution for one of you who has not tried yet.

Could you please compile it for 32 bit systems?

[makkan00]

Probably noob question. But does it allow you to extract 1B file from last 7 digits of vin?
