The best solution is to download the complete wds program from a torrent and install it on an old dedicated laptop running XP without antivirus software. Of course, it should never be allowed internet access.

The bmwtech.ru WDS works fine with the very latest version of Java, as long as you manually create a site except for bmwtech.ru in the Java control panel. I run it on Win7Pro, IE11 with Java v8.0b121 - no issues.
The SVG plugin may have security issues but there is a very low chance of exploitation - you have to just take a punt on that!
BUT - I would jump at the chance to have a self contained copy - I worry the bmwtech.ru web site might disappear. Haven't found a torrent for it - got any details?
(BTW, a torrent client is probably a bigger security risk that the SVG plugin
).
