seems to be installed now!
I worked at it for a couple of hours this afternoon, and finally got the three .OCX files loaded (MSCOMCTL.OCX was the one I tried first, so it was the one I listed here). It seems that my laptop didn't realize it was a 64-bit system (ARM64-based, 64-bit OS), and kept reverting back to 32-bit, so whatever I tried installing as 64-bit wouldn't take.
A week or so ago, when I inadvertently loaded a virus/Trojan/whatever onto the laptop, it had changed my system around so that when I tried to re-install Chrome on it, it would always install the 32-bit version. Took me awhile to defeat that, and get the 64-bit version installed. Today, I finally realized that somehow SysWOW64 (needed for the .OCX files, and for .dll registration, also) had also been removed, so I put it back in. Everything followed the installation sequence after that. So, I've now got multiple copies of desktop shortcuts, zip files in various locations (from three different base sousrces), and various other duplicate files that I'll need to carefully remove from the laptop; but it seems that all the BMW Standard Tools are now installed, only needing the X5 connected to complete installation (I'd only been able to get INPA running previously). Thanks for links, encouragement, and other help, guys, it's really appreciated!

correction: not working now, not even INPA
Quote:
Now, I guess I'm restarting from scratch...downloading the suggested files and trying again (and again, more again, and everafter again). At least I've got the sysWOW64 and .OCX files already in place (they were what was the last problem I had faced), so though I may end up with lotsa duplicate files onboard the laptop, it may just work. Oh, the duplicate files are going onto a 128gb boot drive, or on a 256gb SD (not 128gb as I erroneously stated before), so there's plenty of space. This laptop will never have anything on it that I can't use in the BMW (games, memorabilia, non-BMW photos, non-BMW data) that fill my phone(s), tablet, and desktop PC. I don't know what I was thinking trying to clean the excess (some weren't) files from it.

OK, INPA is working again!
I removed every trace of BMW Standard Tools from Bimmergeeks downloads, and also the Mike's Easy BMW Tools downloads fom my laptop this morning
I also confirmed that the .OCX files remained installed (in the new sysWOW64 folder), the FTDI driver (for the cable) was still active, and the cable still operated on COM 1 port as well, before I tried the Mike's Easy BMW Tools download & install, again. I followed Evan Goyuk's YouTube video again, installing as before, and went outside to the X5, and tried INPA again. It's now working. Then I tried the other programs and discovered that I was bypassing the NCS Expert/NCS Dummy "profile loading" steps (I couldn't manually load my VIN), so it seems there is a learning curve to go beyond basic INPA. I think I was rushing ahead of myself, earlier this week. The BMW tools that are now on the laptop are drawing 15% less memory than before, since there were files and traces of files in various locations, leftover from five previous attempts to get INPA et al installed. Mea culpa. I'm going to stick with the learning curve required, and take my time from this point onwards, since INPA was basically all I wanted, and the other programs are bonuses.
