If it helps: The install worked for me but i couldn't go past the login page.
I asked AI to help me and it suggested to repatch the software with this script bc I had a newer version of SQL server:

@echo off
set lic='%VIDA_HOME%patch\license'
set sqlf=%VIDA_HOME%patch\q.sql
set fdb=%VIDA_HOME%patch\filldb.sql

echo declare @lic nvarchar(50) set @lic=%lic% > %sqlf%
type %fdb% >> %sqlf%

echo.
echo === Attempting to apply patch using SQLCMD ===
echo.

:: This searches Windows automatically for SQLCMD regardless of version or folder
where sqlcmd >nul 2>nul
if %errorlevel% equ 0 (
sqlcmd -S localhost\Vida -U sa -P GunnarS3g3 -i "%sqlf%"
) else (
echo ERROR: Neither OSQL nor SQLCMD could be found on this computer.
echo Please make sure Microsoft SQL Server is fully running.
)

del "%sqlf%" 2>nul

ren %VIDA_HOME%WslLogin.exe WslLogin.exe.bak 2> nul
ren %VIDA_HOME%ClientLogger.exe ClientLogger.exe.bak 2> nul

echo.
echo === Script Finished ===
pause



It worked well and i can now log in :)

VIDA Classic Internet Explorer Launcher

I made a small, source-readable VBS launcher for VIDA 2014D.

On some Windows 10 and Windows 11 installations, trying to open Internet
Explorer normally redirects to Microsoft Edge. This script instead creates
the Windows InternetExplorer.Application COM object and opens the local
VIDA installation directly at:

http://localhost/Vida/

The script does not install anything, download anything, modify the Windows
registry, or require administrator privileges.

The complete source code is plain text and can be inspected by opening the
VBS file in Notepad before running it.

Successfully tested with VIDA 2014D on:

Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
OS build 19045.6466

On this Windows 10 Pro 22H2 system, the launcher opened the
classic Internet Explorer 11 environment and VIDA automatically selected
its required Internet Explorer 8 Standards document mode.

Windows 11 compatibility has not yet been confirmed. It may depend on
whether the InternetExplorer.Application COM components are still present
and accessible on the specific Windows installation.

Usage:

1. Make sure VIDA Monitor is running and showing green.
2. Download and extract the ZIP file.
3. Double-click Start_VIDA_Classic_IE.vbs.
4. VIDA should open in the classic Internet Explorer environment.

What the script does:

- Creates the Windows InternetExplorer.Application COM object.
- Makes the Internet Explorer window visible.
- Opens only http://localhost/Vida/.

What the script does not do:

- It does not install Internet Explorer.
- It does not download anything.
- It does not open any external website.
- It does not modify the Windows registry.
- It does not require administrator privileges.
- It does not start, install, or repair VIDA services.

If Internet Explorer cannot be started, the script displays an error message.
In that case, Microsoft Edge Internet Explorer mode may need to be used
instead.

I completed the installation correctly. I can open the software in IE, but when I enter the login (admin) and click "Log in," it returns to the authentication screen and doesn't proceed.
