I installed it in 2 VirtualPc in Vmware 25h2..., the installation went fine and it's working so far. I'll connect it to the car and let you know...

I performed a complete uninstallation of the VIDA from a Windows 10 laptop. This installation was really easy compared to the previous original VIDA 2014d version installation and the very multi-step SQL Server upgrade to version 2019. Huge thanks to the creator.

@ZaanTerror Very, very thank you! After buying a good cable (Mongoose JLR clone) it is working perfectly! Data reading is superfast, live data, etc. Perfect.

It's been a while since I downloaded it, and this version of Vida works brilliantly! Far more reliable and extremely fast compared to virtual machines.

Hi all,

I’m running VIDA on Windows 11 in a VM and it fails to start with a database error.

Log:
The header for file 'C:\VIDA\db\imagerepository_data.mdf' is not a valid database file header. The FILE SIZE property is incorrect.
CREATE DATABASE failed. Some file names listed could not be created. Check related errors.
ImageRepository attached.

Any idea?

@klagowski something went wrong during attachment of databases. Or ImageRepository.mdf became corrupted during download/unpack.

Please try uninstall - reboot - install.

After reinstalling everything, it works without any issues. Thanks!

REVIEW: WOW!!!! So easy!

Guys, I have been trying the different version of VIDA of the past years, mostly running on Virtual Machines, which sometimes did run fine, but also encountered problems and took a lot of time and reading and effort to get it working.

This makes getting VIDA a dream... it just worked straight out the zip file (I did have 3.5 Network installed already, not the one supplied with the ZIP). I also had my own drivers for the Mongoose interface installed. Running it on a Panasonic toughbook, i5, 16gb of ram.

I've also encountered many people selling their own easy install versions, and for quite a price too. Volvodiag offers a 5 dollar VM option, but again it's so much hassle.

Props to Zaan, this is what a good software tech can do, and in turn makes my life much easier. I don't want to spend hours figuring out if I have the right spec, right software, right verison etc. I just need the software so I can work on my car and get on with my life. This allows you to do that.
