on the old comp i managed to at least download the Diagbox 7.02, now on this one i get this

You keep clicking in ISO file but because you still have file extensions 'off' you can't see what you are doing wrong

You have the 'view file extensions' switched off in your vista which makes it difficult to see what you are showing.

This is how you show file extensions

why does it want me to "burn it to disc"???????

Because you keep clicking an ISO image file?


this is now switched on, but no difference, what now?

have to make a decision as i am thinking of returning the laptop under the 14 days returns policy with the seller

Now you can see its an ISO file extension and you won't click it (because the instructions you put in the picture didn't say to click the iso file).

Follow the instructions that are in the image you posted,

but

Follow Arfur Dents advice to skip doing the updates if you cars age doesn't require them or connects up and communicates without them. That way you can save a bit of file processing that are not required.

Let's forget the "updates", as I can't even get the software onto the laptop in the first place, lol

Will have to look back and see what you mean, although I'm sure the files aren't visible, probably were on the vista laptop

Have to work it out by Sunday evening or I'm just giving up, returning laptop and software and either get it to a Citreon garage, break it or burn it

The clock is ticking.

Can you copy and paste the instructions text file into a reply here please.

I will give it a go....

Diabox V7.77 Installation & Activation Instruction: (for Windows x86/32 bit systems)

Use your vista 32bit machine. Don't use windows 10 64 bit machine.

1. Install the MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM according to your system

Go to https://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso- ... erview.htm and Download the vista version (Windows XP/2003/2008/Vista)

Install the download and reboot if prompted.

This link has pictures and instructions on how to 'Mount' an image (ISO) file,
read this page https://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso- ... -mount.htm because you will need to do that next.

2. Mount the DiagBox V7.02.iso using MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM

See above, mount the DiagBox V7.02.iso.

You will then gain a new virtual CD/DVD drive and run setup.exe from that virtual CD/DVD drive in MagicISO

this will install Diagbox

when the installation finished the program will ask to activate the software, just ignore it and close the program immediately, NEVER try to activate or update online!!!

Follow those instructions.

4. Run the diagbox from desktop

You now have new icons on your desktop for diagbox and various other programs that you won't use.
Double click the diagbox shortcut to run it


When you are prompted, do this:

5. Choose Manually Activate the diagbox with Customer Code: 1234567 (7 digits) , click Next and Next

6. Then the diagbox will start to install the Lexia3 and PP2000 data base until all finished(you will see the Citroen and Peugeot logo), You can find it the version is V7.01 ,Close the program immediately!

It can take 10 minutes or more, depending on how fast or slow your machine is. Be patient.

7. Run the diagbox from desktop again , it will load offline update for a moment, after that the version will turn to V7.02

Seems quite self explanatory

8. Go to C:\AWRoot\bin\fi

Use my computer or windows explorer or whatever the file manager is in vista. Navigate to C:\AWRoot\bin\fi

back up APPDIAG.SYS file

This means to take a copy (copy and paste) the file to a different location. - Anywhere, just remember where.

( you can create a new folder in C:\AWRoot\bin\fi then copy and paste the original APPDIAG.SYS file into the new folder )

Its just some advice on where to save the copy of the file. Its not important where, just remember where you put it.

*** Step 8 is very important, this backup will be helpful when some day you are asked to reactivate DiagBox

You may need the file again, in the future.

Job done

(5) We recommend all users to use diagbox WITHOUT INTERNET to avoid reactivation.

This is important, do what it says.

If any chance you are asked to reactivate DiagBox, please just copy the backup [APPDIAG.SYS.bak] file to replace the old original APPDIAG.SYS.bak file in C:\AWRoot\bin\fi

This is useful information.

^^^^^ tried contacting them, but they don't answer emails, very helpful of them, or more likely they have no idea how to help and just reproduced it to sell on?

All the information you need is in the text, what else can the vendor tell you?

I thought I had done, as theres a shortcut on the desktop but when clicked on, nothing happens, is this something that's unseen and runs in the background?

The instructions on using it are https://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso- ... -mount.htm in the link. If the program didn't install correctly, uninstall it and download then reinstall it. Follow the instructions in the link to use it.

this is about it really, as posted earlier, I seemed to download onto ithink the windows 10 laptop I got from PC World, and the Vista system one i have but never got any further, now it doesne work at all on the current windows 7 laptop which I'm typing on with now

I thought you had Vista. Anyway, use only a 32 bit machine to follow the instructions, it won't work on a 64 bit machine.

see

(1) Diagbox is compatible with windows XP/7 32 bit only! it's not good for 64 bit operating systems.

If you only have 64 bit system, either format and reinstall a 32 bit or follow completely different instructions to run a virtual machine:

please need to build on VMWare or Vitual XP

Which is easier said than done if mounting an ISO in magiciso is an issue.
