The software has been tested regarding viruses - Trojans or similar malicious programs. Please turn off antivirus because some antivirus programs detect the file as a virus if you have susceptible applications (eg.AiCoder). Mega-Server does NOT allow placing infected files.
Your laptop should be not used for daily use; diagnostic programs don't need an antivirus program. Be aware; some programs will not work if your antivirus removes installation files detected as the virus. A good practice is to use Windows Defender but not in every case, the message about virus detection area. False-positive! To avoid errors, installation of programs should be performed on a clean, genuine operating system.

To run ISTA-P always use BMW ISTA-P Loader (activation in a text file) from Tools folder. On the server has been placed 3 different Loaders,
ISTA-P Loader v6.6 For ICOM and ISTA-P Loader v6.1 For D-CAN Interface. And new ISTA-P Loader v6.4 version
In Loader choose language, resolution, expert mode options and other features
Expert Mode password: istap

UPDATE

To install correctly, be sure don't change any of the original installation files already exists (to put Expert Mode for example). If you have modified any file, will not be installed and will fail. All files in the current install version must be original. This is imperative to upgrade to the new version.
Any possible updates must be installed sequentially cannot skip to the latest update.
Put in the same folder and location all the files. (.exe Files) AND (.istap Files which are unzipped.)
Run EXE or MSI.
Make sure your system meets the minimum requirement.
Make sure to:
Turn off Windows Firewall Service
Run program as an Administrator
Those two things will eliminate many errors

Important

In the original installation is missing BMW.Taurus.WsmProvider.AgentBackend.dll in

"ISTA-P\BMW\Environment\Wsm"

Loader 6.4 fix it by copying this dll in the folder. Loader 6.3 and lower not. You need to change in ISTA-P application.xml

68.0.800 to 3.68.0.800. Open the file with a notepad. Now you can use loader lower than the 6.4 version

If you use loader 6.4 as first, you do nothing and it works, and also with older loaders because loader 6.4 makes the missing file

BMW.Taurus.WsmProvider.AgentBackend.dll in "ISTA-P\BMW\Environment\Wsm

After that, you can run all older loaders.....

ICOM, ICOM A1 and Common ICOM A2 Firmware Update

Steps and Note:

Use Network cable to connect ICOM (ICOM A1 or Common version ICOM A2) with a computer, charge ICOM (ICOM A1 or Common version ICOM A2) with 12V power adapter or connect ICOM with the BMW vehicle.
Open IE Internet Explorer, browse http://169.254.92.38:60080/, log in with username/password: root/NZY11502.
Click "Update Firmware", you will see ICOM firmware version information.
Choose file "ICOM-BootImage-xx-xx-xx.bin", set image type to SYSTEM, click "Send the file".
When it pops up "Write the image file to the flash?", Click "Yes", then ICOM indicator light will turn red.
When it pops up "The SYSTEM IMAGE update was successful", click "Update Firmware".
Choose "ICOM-ApplicationImage-xx-xx-xx.bin", set image type to APPLICATION, click "Send the file", it will take several minutes since the archive is a little bit large.
When it pops up "Write the image file to the flash?", Click "Yes", then the ICOM indicator light will turn red for the second times.
When it finishes upgrading, click "reboot" to restart the computer.

Important Note:

Setting up your computer to obtain an IP address automatically
Firstly choose the smaller file "ICOM-BootImage-xx-xx-xx.bin" , then set image type to SYSTEM; Secondly, choose the bigger file "ICOM-ApplicationImage-xx-xx-xx.bin", then set image type to APPLICATION.
You can update the ICOM firmware via the ISTA-D Connection Manager.
IP: 169.254.33.45:60080
PW: NZY1150263 for Icom A2

In the last ICOM Firmware, BMW has decided to close ssh, if you do not have the private key, also they have added RSA signed firmware, which means you cannot downgrade to an older firmware version because they are not signed.

On the server are 3 files:-

Use this if you *have* already upgraded to 03-15-02

ICOM_Restore.bin - a custom restore image which will restore to the latest firmware but unprotected.

Use the files below, if you have *not* already updated to 03-15-02

ICOM-BootImage-01-26-00c.bin - this contains the *FIX* for ssh.

ICOM-ApplicationImage-01-41-02c.bin - this contains a patch to bypass the need for signed firmware.

No other aspects of the firmware have been changed and it is 100% safe to use as the original firmware.

Check folder called " Tools" where has been attached helpful info.

SP-DATEN

Updating of new SP-Daten files can be a pain. A lot of copy, paste and adjusting files. Manually and/or with Total Commander.
This tool will automatically update your Daten files for you. Only replacing the files that require replacing and skipping the files that don’t. Very easy!!
MSCOMCTL Error Fix:
For those who get an MSCOMCTL.OCX error… Please download the MSCOMCTL Error Fix.zip and follow the instructions
First, we need to set our default folders for NCSExpert, WinKFP, and EDIABAS.
Once all the folders are set we can now proceed to update our SP Daten. Doing this by selecting the “Select SP-source” button and then select the folder with the new SP Daten. I always like to start with the earliest model which is E36.
The path should look something like mine in the screenshot.
Now that we have set our SPDaten path we can now select the “Update SP-Daten” button.
Only all NEWER files will be copied from:

…\SP-DATEN-Exx\ECU –> …\EDIABAS\ECU
…\SP-DATEN-Exx\SGDAT –> …\EC-APPS\NFS\SGDAT
…\SP-DATEN-Exx\SGDAT –> …\NCSEXPER\SGDAT
…\SP-DATEN-Exx\DATEN –> …\NCSEXPER\DATEN\Exx
Also, update of files in …\NCSEXPER\DATEN

You will notice the files that have been replaced will display update –> **.** and the ones that did not require updating will display remain –> **.**
In my case, as displayed in the image below all will show remain because I have already updated them.
Now repeat the same steps for WinKFP…
Select the “Update WinKFP” button, and all folders will be copied and replaced from:…\SP-DATEN-Exx\DATA –> …\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA
also update of SGIDC.AS2 in …\EC-APPS\NFS\DATA\GDATEN to adjust the “long lines.”
Backup’s of all folders are saved as …\name_date_time
Once completed… repeat the same steps for all base models so from E36 to E89. Now you have successfully updated your NCSExpert and WinKFP with latest SP-Daten files.
