Doesnt work? I think you need to burn it to cd first. After it installs sysadm, and you click to install TIS, it says "setup drive is being searched" than it gives error "Setup files could not be found"

right-click on a setup file and open it as administrator

if WinRar give you the message: unknown format or damaged.... check the message again in detail sometimes one or two files are downloaded incorrect and simply you have to re-download these files.

And what to do after that? The instructions ask's to insert disc....?
So this is what I ended up doing to make it work:

Download all 7 RAR files
Download and install the RAR software trial version from here: WinRAR
Extract the first RAR file to your hard drive, the software will extract the files from the rest of the 6 files automatically
Burn the expanded files to a DVD (it is about 3.5GB of data)
Navigate to the DVD drive and find the following folder: \WIN95\BMW\TIS
Run the "setup.exe file and install the "Sysadm" program to your hard drive
Run the "Sysadm" program and install the TIS software to your Windows computer by selecting "TIS- Install"
The TIS software should begin loading from the DVD

I can't help you much beyond this- I did this the hard way by trial & error.

Does anyone know if this software works in Vista? I loaded it up on a WinXP machine.

Good luck.

You need to select "Vehicle Identification" first. Input the last 7 digits of the car's VIN and everything should work.

This is most assuredly not the most user-friendly software to use.
