General: - How to - perform a "direct install" of vida software

Agro · Oct 17th, 2020, 00:45

For this direct install you must have a PC running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, and with Internet Explorer 9 (or higher) installed.

For any other system go here and follow the instructions for installation on a virtual machine (VM) - https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showt...27#post2673227

My machine is an old Dell Optiplex i5 with 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD running Win7 PRO and IE9. The more resources your machine has the faster the software will run.

RECOMMENDED - disable your internet security to ensure it doesn't interfere with the download.

1. Create a folder on your desktop and call it Vida.

2. Go to: [url] https://volvodiag.com/dashboard/[url] and register to access the software (IT IS FREE)

3. Go to: [url]https://volvodiag.com/direct-install/http://and download the "VIDA 2014D ...www.7-zip.org/ and download and install 7zip (IT IS ALSO FREE)

5. Open 7zip and navigate to the "VIDA 2014D Direct Install" in your Vida folder

6. Extract the "VIDA 2014D Direct Install" file to the same Vida folder

7. You will be prompted to enter a password, enter the text "volvodiag.com"

8. Once extracted open the Vida folder and click the folders:
INSTALL / DVD / VIDA_DVDHEADER / MAIN - SETUP.EXE

9. Right Click on SETUP.EXE and select run as administrator

10. Once the program has finished its installation process go to [url]https://volvodiag.com/patches/[url].

11. Download and install VIDA Patch Windows 7 (x64)

12. Restart your machine and note the Vida Icon in the Taskbar. It will have a little flag that changes from red to yellow, to green. If you hover your cursor over it, it will change from stopped to starting to running.

13. Once it is running start Vida and IE9 will open on the Vida main screen.

14. Login by typing "1" in the login text box and it should open.
