Congrats on getting PA Soft Scanner 1.4 up and running on your Windows 10 laptop! From everything I've read, it will only work on Windows XP, 32-bit, or something like that. I've been wondering if I could get PA Soft Scanner 1.4 and do a work-around to get it to work on my Windows 11 laptop, with the ARM64 processor.
I was able to get the INPA program to (mostly) work on my minimal ram laptop (even though the ARM64 processor was supposed to make it impossible to do), so perhaps it might be possible to get PA Soft Scanner 1.4 installed, since it looks to be even better suited for my diagnostic needs, than INPA or ISTA (D,P,+, or whatever).
Everything I read about INPA said that it wouldn't load or work on my laptop, but after many work-arounds, I got it to work (Windows fought back against me, every step of the way). However, I wasn't able to get all components of the "standard tools"
Inpa-
EDIABAS

Bluetooth Activation Tool
BMW Coding Tool
FindECU
NcsDummy-
NcsExpert

WinKFP

Integrated SP-DATEN
to work in a synchronous manner, at any given time. This list is from
https://ohptools.com/blogs/news/how-...-on-windows-10, which I'll try next, after I uninstall (again) the "Mike's Easy BMW Tools" and "BMW Standard Tools" install packages I found on Bimmerfest (I have both installed, so maybe they interfered with each other).
I also tried and failed to get a "Standalone ISTA+" package (also from Bimmerfest) to work, due to my RAM sitting at 2GB (I only need the ISTA-D/RHEINGOLD diagnostics, and can't find a way to separate them from the other components, so I'm looking at PA Soft Scanner 1.4, as a cheap(er) alternative to upgrading my puny laptop, my Foxwell NT510 Elite, or both. I'm looking for any way to expand my diagnostic tool set

Could you either post about how you "Got PA Soft Scanner 1.4 up and running on a windows 10 laptop", list the specs required to make it work, and component sources (and prices, too!), or PM to me that info, if you don't want to do so publicly? I'm old, poor (retired), and definitely not a computer wiz (see my post history to confirm).
