Hi All,
Many years ago I managed to get VIDA installed on an old laptop (which took forever to get right). My car has been off the road for a couple of years, but I'm getting it up and running. My old computer is dead, and I'm trying to get a new one set up. I remember lots of hoops to jump through in the past. Is there a definitive guide to installing it around here? I have all the files, just wondering if you can install on a newer OS, etc.
Thanks for any help.

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

i would recommend paying the $5 over at volvodiag.com and running it through a virtual machine in vmware or virtualbox.Redbox wrote: ↑06 Dec 2025, 20:11 Hi All,
