OK, you must have a working DiagBox 7.45+, and you seem to have one.
Now, you must stop all DiagBox processes to be able to rename C:\AWRoot to C:\AWRoot7.

Once the above is done, you can start DiagBox 8.01 installation process.

After the message that you get (in your snapshot), press the X button and close the application, then run AWRoot_v7_Conf+Ativation_v8.exe to copy the configuration files from "C:\AWRoot7" NOT any other name, no spaces no hyphens, just AWRoot7 and in C:\.

Just one more question regarding diagbox 8.38:

Is it normal that after finished installation updates 817-837 and 835-838 to see in right upper corner V08.17

or i am doing something wrong?

Hi,

I have updates 7.83 to 8.01 all fine

Then i updated 8.01 to 8.02 as admin and ran the kill file before installing

When i open diagbox it opens as 8.02 but i get this error message

C:\APP\ddc\bin\DDCAPP~1EXE
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction

I am using windows xp in VMware 12 , I have .net and C++ installed

Many thanks

You are probably running Windows XP SP2!! If so, did you try installing SP3?

There was an issue similar to this and related to the Windows XP "Security Center". Try disabling it from "Services" and see if it stops the error. If it does, update to SP3 (attached).

Thanks for the quick reply. I am on Sp3 and disabled all in security center. I have also ran a 'cclean'. but the error is still there , just doing the other updates up to 8.42 will see if that resolves it, then will try it on a car.

Many thanks

Installing DiagBox 8.01
This procedure and the software provided are intended for personal, educational and experimental use to install DiagBox 8.01 and related updates. I hold no responsibility for any illegal or improper usage. Carry out this procedure at your own risk.

Notice
- Links for all required software, updates and tools are in the attachments.

Preparation for Installing DiagBox 8.01 on Notebooks and VMWare Workstation
- Starting with any (32 bit) Windows (preferably XP or 7), install .NET 3.51 and Windows drivers or VMWare Tools (if on VMWare Workstation or Player).

Preparation for Installing DiagBox 8.01 on VirtualBox
- Having installed 32 bit Windows + VirtualBox Guest Additions + .NET 3.51, use the Powershell Command "Get-WMIObject win32_BIOS" or the "DMIdecode" tool to obtain BIOS information (not essential).
- Close VirtualBox and start an administrator's CMD, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" and execute the following command (Replacing "Your VM" with your Virtual Machine's name, and System Serial with your hardware's or any code or text such as "CDN29326BH"):
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage setextradata "Your VM" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial" "System Serial"

Installing DiagBox 8.01
1- Install DiagBox 7.01 and restart DiagBox to run update 7.02. Install update 7.xx-7.57 (this will create "C:\AWRoot\dtwr\cfg\Config.sys").
2- Install "VC++ 2008 Redistributable Package", a copy will be available in "C:\teleassistance\visualC\vcredist_x86.exe" after installing DiagBox.
3- Restart the computer and use “Kill_DiagBox_Tasks.bat” to stop related processes and rename "C:\AWRoot" to "C:\AWRoot7"
4- Run DiagBox 8.01 installation (it will uninstall v7.xx first) until it requests Activation. Close it (X) and run the tool "AWRoot_v7_Conf+Ativation_v8.exe" it will copy configuration from "C:\AWRoot7\.." and inject the necessary files.
5- Run DiagBox again, it should continue the installation successfully.

Done !,

Restart DiagBox 8.01 as Administrator to confirm all is well (don't be concerned about the reported version and do not start Lexia or PP2000 yet). If you face an issue, run the activation tool again and/or review "Versions" below.

If DiagBox runs fine, ensure you keep a backup copy of the file “C:\AWRoot\bin\fi\APPDIAG.SYS” in a safe location.

Installing Updates
1- Download and install "DiagBox_updt_802.ISO" update.
2- Download and install subsequent v8.xx updates or Maitresox updates (from 7.66+).

Versions
DiagBox will run and display the (8.xx or 7.xx) version number listed in “AWRoot\bin\fi\version.ini” file. However, Lexia or PP2000 will fail to operate with "version.ini" set to “08.xx” and "APPDIAG.SYS" will be corrupted and will need to be restored before DiagBox will work again.
So, for DiagBox, Lexia and PP2000 to operate, set the version to “7.xx” or “7.xxx” (07.81 or 07.817 can be set to indicate the true DiagBox 8 version).
[APPLICATION]
version=07.817

It is possible to operate Lexia/PP2000 (after starting DiagBox with 8.xx) by starting DiagBox while having "version.ini" listing the 8.xx only (or first), then changing it to 7.xx or commenting the line "version=08.xx" and saving BEFORE starting LEXIA or PP2000 as shown below.
[APPLICATION]
;version=08.01
version=07.65

Updates
- DiagBox v7 and v8 install and run on all x86 (32bit) Windows including 10 TH1, TH2, RS1 and RS2.
- Entering a System Serial for the Virtual Machine (as described above) resolves the "psaAagent.exe" and the missing tabs issue on VirtualBox.
- If you get "Error 2" after restarting DiagBox, try commenting "version=8.xx" in "version.ini" before restarting DiagBox again.

P.S. DiagBox has been running on Firmware 4.3.4 since 7.66/8.02.

Someone put the full installation process on the net, just edit "version.ini" as described above.



Enjoy; Simple.

Check if there is corruption in Windows or the files!
Run:
