Installing ODIS 5.1.6 from DVDs provided from VXDAS — Atrus’ Notes

The following notes assume a 64bit version of Windows 7 is the starting point. Installation for 32bit would be only slightly different.

I purchase the VAS 5054a from VXDAS.COM, the package comes with the disk contains an installation video provided by VXDAS for a prior version of ODIS.

Here are a few notes on it:

- All in Russian so need to count positions up/down in context menus to know what is being selected.

- He is loading onto a Virtual Machine of Windows so it contains some changes to the license file that did not apply to my native Win7 OS.

- Some preconditions shown do not apply (VMWARE, Microsoft Studio… definitely do not. Adobe Acrobat/Microsoft Net framework may be in package but I installed myself just in case.)

Steps…

00. Preconditions:

- Install WinRAR (I have copy in library)

- Download Adobe Acrobat DC installation exe (Windows 7 version) and Run as Administrator

- Download and install Microsoft NET Framework (This and Adobe Reader might be included in the installation.?.)

- If Laptop does not have Bluetooth built-in then plug in dongle provided by VXDAS and let the driver install

- Move all files from DVDs to large USB drive and expand using WinRAR. Delete original rar files.

01. Windows Update

- I installed both 64bit packages but both said they were already present.

- Restart laptop

Extra Step — Revise License File

- Per video, comment out all platforms except for “Audi” and “VW”. This significantly reduces install time and number of files loaded.

- This is the ONLY change I made

Extra Step — Unicode

- I did nothing like this

02. OffboardDiagSetup-Service_VWMCD_5_1_6-B51_6_0_10

- Run as Administrator

- “English”

- [Next]

- [Next] {Select a Target Folder — 64bit system}

- [Next] {Target directory for diagnostics components — leave alone}

- [Next] {Target Platform — leave alone}

- [Next] {Diagnostic Interface — leave as “VAS 5054”}

- [Next] {Bluetooth Interface…}

- [Search] for modified license file, [Open], leave Copy license box selected, [Next]

- [Next] Start menu folder selection — leave alone

- [Finish]

03. Launcer+license+plugins

- Note: license already installed

- Copy “OffboardDiagLauncher” from 03.Laucer… directory provided over file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Service

- Copy “de.volkswagen.odis.vaudas.launcher….” from 03.Laucer…\plugins directory provided over file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Offboard_Diagnostic_Information_System_Service\plugins

- Delete ODIS Service Diagnostic Interface Configuration from desktop

- Restart laptop

04. Patch

- Note: video does not include this step but I did it anyway. I think video does it manually later so I did both I guess…

- Note: file is not to be expanded although it may show as a WinRAR

- Right click on 64 bit version and Run as Administrator

- Restart laptop

05. PostSetup_89.5.30

- Free up as much disk space as possible if smaller harddrive especially if the installation files were loaded directly to hard drive instead of using a USB drive.

- “OffboardDiagSetup…” executable,

- “03.Launcer.” directory,

- “04. Patch” directory,

- Empty Trash.

-DONE

Note that I had a problem getting PDUConnect to succeed. I originally skipped some of the final steps that seemed of no value so I added them in just in case they were tickling something non-obvious. I also powered the unit on/off and removed it from within the EDIC configuration manager and then added it back in. Something fixed my problem that was not obvious.
