VIDA Eventually
Eventually got VIDA working today. That’s 4 hours of my life I’ll never get back! Put it on an old Windows 7 Home 64-bit laptop. After reading through all the forums found out I had to upgrade to Pro, then downgrade.net. The hardest bit was getting the update patch installed. This took 2 hours on its own to get right. If not done right you keep getting login errors. Had a quick play with it today and all looked good. First proper job will be to retract the electronic rear brakes when I change the disks and pads.
Got the cheapest china one off eBay. Well worth £64 as I’m sure it will get well used.

The video instructions I supply to my Dice buyers show how Vida works no problem with the latest .net Framework (4.7?) and IE11 and I also supply the updated patch with a 2049 expiry which you install in less than a minute.
There are Dice sellers and there are, well other Dice sellers.

The Chinese are rubbish when it comes to instructions. If they would have just explained it better then it would of taken no time. Works with IE11 ok. Sorry, didn’t spot you sold them.

Several years after buying my DiCE I am still no nearer to installing VIDA. @stevepen, you couldn't PM me idiot instructions, and I mean real idiot instructions, on exactly what you did to install what elements that got the thing to work. I still have login errors. 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.

Left everything as it was and visited the Patch directory in C:\ and followed the instructions. At first I thought nothing had happened. Couldn't load using the Admin icon on the desktop but just tried a plain VIDA icon in the task bar and whoopee! It loaded and runs under username "1" Now to plug it into the car. Thanks for the simple but vital instructions.
