You can download the software from https://www.bimmergeeks.net/downloads safe and virus free and I would be more than happy to help you with any installation issues you might have but I'm confident you can get it going with minimal head scratching.
Thanks for your offer, but I'll try for awhile (despite my saying I'm giving up) to get something to work on the new laptop. But, expect a PM from me after a few more disappointing tries....

Actually, I believe I did use the download link you suggested, but the only part of the "BMW Standard Tools" that actually successfully loaded was the "EDIABAS ToolSet 32", all other parts wouldn't open. And I never downloaded the SP-Datens, since I copied the link address to Virus Total, and it detected malware.

After fighting to remove previous malware from this new laptop, I'm not sure if I'd trust it.
