Use this procedure:

Enabling the .NET Framework 3.5 in Control Panel
---------------------------------------------------------

You can enable the .NET Framework 3.5 yourself through Control Panel. In Control Panel, choose Programs and Features, choose Turn Windows features on or off, and then select the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 check box. This option requires an Internet connection.

I'll provide updates shortly...
Ok. I give up. I don't have Win8 to test it with, but it is hard to understand why it would behave any differently.

I can see where the older .NET Framework is perhaps needed to run it, but I don't think it will make any difference with this configuration issue.

I don't know if it is an option for Win8, but if it is, you can use XP Mode and install it into the XP Virtual Machine.

ESys 3.18 uses the old .Net framework and when it was reported that certain buttons are not enabled, the first thing that flashed to my mind was if the win 8 is still supporting it. I made a quick check and found that win 8 only supports net framework 4.5 but provides an option to add older framework through control panel.

Ok. Hopefully 3.5 Framework is the solution.

Two points:

1. Try to use Expert Mode on left pane with Code button selected
2. Why "Werte" is showing 00 whereas Values from ECU shows 01, didnt you save first on the right corner?

Yes, I would test this on regular FDL Code Change first, before trying a Werte Value change.

Something other than what I sent you to try, or is that what you are referring to?

It's what you sent.

@April1

I did... I just went back in to show the save icon greyed out still.

2. Why "Werte" is showing 00 whereas Values from ECU shows 01, didnt you save first on the right corner?
I was changing that value but ain't able to save the value...

I think he meant, did you apply the value by pressing CTRL-ENTER and then saving?

Forgot to mention that you need to reinstall E-Sys after installing dot net framework 3.5.1

I was in contact with April1 offline and E-Sys is now working on my win8 laptop. I did reinstall the software after enabling .net 3.5.1 which seems to have done the trick (this is after several installs/uninstalls and tweaking).

One other thing I did was, I left the default data location post software installation then set the token location under the EST tab.

windows 7 on vmware

So, I just received my cable and flash drive from April 1 (overnight delivery a huge plus). Quick question, I have a work computer that is a windows desktop but want to run on my apple macbook with vmware. I've read in a few places that some of the software may or may not work with the 64bit version of windows 7. That said it isn't clear if it is esys or some other piece of software that won't work. Does anyone know if I need to get the 32 bit version or can i use the 64? Don't want to get the less efficient version if i can avoid it. Thanks!

E-Sys works fine on 64-Bit. There is a companion utility application named ZGW_SEARCH.exe that is informational only, which will show you the IP Connection to the car. Version 1 of it must be run in XP Compatibility Mode. Version 2 of it can run natively on 64-Bit. Or, since it is non-functional, you don't need to run it at all.

From a performance standpoint, is it significant whether running e.g. XP/32, Win7/32, Win7/64, Win8? Does it really make much difference in time to update the car's parameters? I was thinking of using an old laptop with XP/SP3 but if it would be so much faster with Win7/64, I would try that instead.

No. I have it running both natively on my Win7 64-Bit machine, and virtualized inside XP Mode, and there is hardly a difference in execution.

Make sure the car is turned on.

Make sure that there is a "Dist" folder in each of the Chassis (F01/F10/F25) folders etc.:

e.g. "C:\ESysData\psdzdata\mainseries\F010\F010_12_03_5 1 1\odx\dist"

It should be empty, but the folder must exist:

I need to code previously backed up FDL, how to do it correctly?

Connect > Read VO > Read SVT > Read coding data (from the required ECU) > then overwrite CAF file in ESYS CAF folder with originally backed up file > Activate FA > Code FDL?
