Hey guys wanted to ask where can i download NCS Expert from (link if possible) and what version is the latest one. I have Windows Vista Operating System on my laptop (would this work).

You need NCS Expert, INPA and EDIBIAS for NCS Expert to work correctly as far as I know.
These are the latest versions:
INPA v5.04
EDIABAS v7.2.0
NCS Expert v3.1.0
However NCS Expert data files for each car/chassis are updated every now and then (files in DATEN folder). Maybe it's important to have the latest if you have 2010-2011 model year or so, or your car software has been upgraded at the dealer.
I'm not running the latest versions but the one I have works on all E60s as far as I know (for basic coding). I'd upload it and post a link but not sure whether it's allowed here.
Vista is more complicated and needs some specific drivers, it's better to run XP 32bit in a VMware virtual machine, like I do.

You do however need a communication interface before anything will work.

So does it work under Vista? As far as I know it only works under Windows 7 and Windows XP. That's why I was suggesting to use VMware.
