VIDA 2014D/2015A Windows 11
-
Thank you again ZaanTerror, I got the VIDA software working on my windows 11 with a clone mongoose scanner, but I think there's only 2 things that I would probably change because it took me a while to get it running, maybe add a step by step install guide (I know we just need to run the setup.exe, but it didn't work out for me) and possible fixes if something doesnt work like it should (in a .txt file)? I had some problems with my java, SQL and with the login screen saying the language I had installed didn't match the language I was trying to login with, but i was selecting all the right stuff, in the end I did manage to fix everything with the help of ChatGPT, maybe if I had installed it in a fresh windows it would've went just fine, but since mine and probably most people downloading it isn't I guess it would've been probably easier if there were some guide in fixing common errors or whatever, but thanks a lot again!

@Eros Install guides in english and german for clean installs can be found here
If you have any useful additions just let me know them.If you want to replace an existing VIDA2014D installation, you need to fully remove that first. You have to stop and close VidaMonitor; stop all running SQL services; uninstall VIDA, Isoview, everything with SQL in it's name; reboot your computer; manually remove all folders containing the terms VIDA, Volvo, Ford, Isoview, SQL, Arbortext, also those that are hidden in various locations; check the Registry for leftovers and also delete them; reboot the computer again; then start ZaanTerrors Installer. Maybe I will write guide for this when I find the time and motivation to do it and add it to the install guides.
As a golden rule you shouldn't use your everyday computer for VIDA. It's better to use a dedicated machine for VIDA or create a Windows 2 Go USB drive and run VIDA from that, when your computer is already cluttered with all kinds of installed software.
The more stuff you have installed besides VIDA, the more things can and will interfere with it. Especially 3rd party antivirus/security softwares and the damages done to Windows by so called optimization/tuning softwares could give you a hard time trying to get VIDA up and running. -

@Di5B Do you run VIDA on native hardware or in a VM? Dedicated VIDA machine, or is it your everyday computer with lots of other software installed and lots off unnecessary background processes? Is any 3rd party antivirus or security software installed? What hardware specs?

Troubles troubles and troubles.
Finally got the Mongoose(obviously from aliexpress). laptop sees it. VIDA sees it. But when I try do diagnostic to my XC70 2006 VIDA says that all mongoose device is in-use by other app. I have only VIDA and Vdash installed from here and can't figure out how I can resolve that problem.
