Hi

Wondering if somone can help. Iv downloaded ISTA D but when I try to open it, it comes up with ' WINDOWS IS TRYING TO FIND ISTAGUI.EXE'.

Am I missing something? I have BMW tools installed and working.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You must be in Admin mode.
Also I only see Standard tools links on your screen.
Look up the location of Ista.exe in search box for and go there.
Windows 10 if you are using it does not make this easy.
Right click on ista and make sure you are Admin for starters.

"ISTAGUI.exe" is the executable file that opens the program. You don't say WHAT version of ISTA you have, but the ISTA+ that used to be linked by BimmerGeeks (MEGA server Host) has instructions that say:
3) Move "Rheingold" folder to c:\Program Files (X86).
4) Create shortcut for ISTAGUI.exe

That executable file has the following path in my ISTA+ installation:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Rheingold\TesterGUI\bin\Release\ISTAGUI.exe
Its file size is 2,785 KB. You can create a ShortCut to any file by simply Right-clicking on the file name and selecting "Create Shortcut" from resulting menu.

Put the shortcut on your Desktop or Pin it to the Task Bar. The Right-most Icon on your taskbar in the Desktop ScreenPrint you attached LOOKS like the ISTA Logo. If the "Target" of that shortcut is NOT correct, and you click on the ISTA Logo, you get the error message shown.

If you're NOT sure how to create the proper shortcut from that information please post back .
