The sad thing is that I bought, installed and used a Peugeot/Citroen Planet/Lexia and managed to identify the installation problems and overcome them but VIDA has, so far, defeated me.
Sounds like you got exactly to where I did, then hit the login problems. I eventually found out that it's the expiry date of the software that causes the login problems. The patch you install after the initial install has a new date of 2099 but I realised after a bit that patch wasn't installing properly. It's hard to tell as it just flashes a few screens very briefly. In the end after trolling the internet and trying bits from different sites I found this to work - Right click on the patch and run as administrator, ignoring first error that pops up. Make sure you have 3 files (filldb, sql something and licence) in the c:\vida\patch folder. Then right click and run as administrator in the filldb file. Then restart you PC. This worked for me and hope you get the same results
