DiagBox 8.01 Installation
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.
- If using a Virtual Machine, ensure Virtualization is enabled in the physical laptop BIOS.

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
- Settings --> System: Motherboard, ensure APIC is OFF, use one processor and enable Virtualization. Allocate enough memory for VM.
- 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, RS2, RS3 and RS4.
- 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.

To use Lexia and PP2000 8.35 and later updates with DiagBox 7.83
Installing APP 8.35 on DiagBox 7.83

To change DiagBox language interface
Changing DiagBox, Lexia and PP2000 Language

P.S. DiagBox has been running on Firmware v4.3.4 since DiagBox v7.66/8.02 and Firmware v4.3.5 since DiagBox v8.45.

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

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

1- Install DiagBox 7.01, perform the Activation, this will create the “APPDIAG.SYS”, “CFG.BIN” and “VERSION.INI” files in "C:\AWRoot\bin\fi\" needed for V8.01 installation. Stop the installation (Task Manager, End Task) and reboot the computer.
2- Rename "C:\AWRoot" to "C:\AWRoot7" and uninstall DiagBox v7.01, this will NOT remove “C:\AWRoot7”. Install Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1, VC++ 2008 and Java and restart the computer.
3- Install 8.01, it will create a new "C:\APP" and "C:\AWRoot" but when requesting User Activation, close it and restart the computer.
4- Run "AWRoot_v7_files_for_v8.exe" (attached to the first post) and restart DiagBox application, it will continue the DiagBox 8.01 installation.
5- When finished, close DiagBox and restart it to ensure it is working fine and no updates are needed, it will report the Version 7.65.

Installing Updates:
1- Download and install "DiagBox_updt_802.ISO" update. (Links in the DiagBox 8.xx Upgrade thread)
2- Other updates are as explained previously.

Notice:
The order of installing things is important. Java 7.67 and VC++ 2008 9.0.21022.8, together with the necessary files are included in the attachement.

i don"tunderstand nothing from here...where is attachement?any setup?...any link?

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

Notice
- This process is updated as I get new ideas or feed back to improve it.
- Links for DiagBox 8.01, DiagBox updates and "AWRoot_v7_Conf+Ativation_v8.exe" are in the attachment.
- Starting with an installed Windows XP Pro SP3 X86 (32 bit), nothing else is needed (but I had .NET 3.5 SP1, FireFox and 7Zip installed).

Installing DiagBox 8.01
1- Install DiagBox 7.01 and run update 7.02 then install update 7.xx-7.57 (or any v7.45+ update that creates "C:\AWRoot\dtwr\cfg\Config.sys")
2- Restart the computer and rename "C:\AWRoot" to "C:\AWRoot7" (you may need to stop some diagBox processes)
3- Run DiagBox 8.01 installation until it requests Activation. Close it and run the tool "AWRoot_v7_Conf+Ativation_v8.exe" it will inject the necessary files and copy the configuration from "C:\AWRoot7".
4- Run DiagBox, it should continue the installation successfully.

Done !, restart DiagBox 8.01 (as Administrator) to confirm all has gone well.

Installing Updates
1- Download and install "DiagBox_updt_802.ISO" update.
2- Download and install subsequent updates or Maitresox updates.

Update 1
The order of the version lines and which is active in VERSION.INI is important for the running of the system. DiagBox will display 08.01 if set as shown below. But Lexia will NOT work with "version.ini" set to V08.xx active (xx is the version number depending on which update is applied).
[APPLICATION]
version=08.01
version=07.65

If Lexia is started with "version=08.xx" active, "APPDIAG.SYS" will be corrupted and it will need to be restored before DiagBox will work again. To operate Lexia (after starting DiagBox with 8.xx), edit "version.ini" and comment/save "version=08.xx" (by inserting ";" as shown below) BEFORE starting LEXIA.

Setting "version.ini" to 07.xx (by removing or commenting "version=8.xx" permanently) will prompt DiagBox to report V 07.xx, but everything will work fine..
[APPLICATION]
;version=08.08
version=07.72

Update 2
- There is an issue with installing DiagBox 8 on VirtualBox, but it installs well on VMWare Workstation and Player.
- DiagBox v7 and v8 do NOT install on Windows 10 RS1 (may be sorted in future Windows 10 RS1 releases), but they install on Windows 10 TH1 and TH2.

Enjoy;

Simple.
