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

correction: not working now, not even INPA

I said I was going to carefully remove duplicate files, folders, etc from the laptop, and I did so, but obviously did something wrong in doing so. Nothing works when plugged into the X5, not even...

if you only knew how wrong you are

Everything I have done is by trial and error; I'm not even sure which things actually worked or not, and I overlooked them, or if I've overlooked items I'll need once I connect the laptop to the X5...

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...

None of the .OCX files work, similar message given in advanced command prompt.

I'm reticent to delve into the registry, since I'm way in above my head here.

It's a shame I can't use my desktop...

I did download the suggested items from 1823alex, and the "BMW Coding Tool" v250 installed on my Windows 10 desktop PC, so it must be something else I've overlooked on my laptop.

I've already done...

I've been trying to follow your instructions, but I can't find/open any .OCX folder. In the meantime, the BMW Standard Tools installation duplicated what I already had.

The other downloaded programs created icons, but "BMW Coding Tool" did not. I just tried all the compatability options, but none worked. The download must've not supplied that incorresct/missing .OCX...

IT'S ALIVE!!-Colin Clive, Frankenstein (1931)

success, maybe

I relaxed, thought about it awhile, told the wife she was going to swap laptops...then about 24 hours later I resumed my quest, but following a different guide and using different downloads. Fifteen...

After four days without experimenting, I succumbed to the dark side influences of the "can't leave well-enough alone" virus I have, and tried something else...getting 5G internet via WiFi to my...

I've had enough tech problems for the week already

I've continued to search for backdoors, work-arounds, developer access, and attempts to thwart Microsoft roadblocks, as well as hunting for easier methods to get advanced BMW diagnostic software.

I've seen the loaded drives in my ebay searches; my ARM64-based laptop is sealed, so I'd have to get my wife's laptop to be able to use one.

I'm not qualified to be a computer nerd, I guess

I've wanted INPA/ISTA since I first read of them, months before I traded/swapped for my X5, and even bought my Foxwell 5-6 months before the trade. I like to have tools on hand before I need them....
