BMW coding Tool won't setup default folders

Guido S · 08-17-2016, 03:40 PM

I'm trying to install Wildcatcrazy's BMW tools setup. But having big trouble. Each and every time I go to set these folders up I click on folder location in C drive and select OK but when I go to open the folder all I see is the contents of the C drive. No Edibas folder etc.
I am confused also as to what 3 folders Wildcatcrazy wants me to delete.. Ok I see the folder names, but where are they? Then what next? Copy the deleted folders from the BMW tool folder to C drive? Almost there I just need a little more help. Come on coders help me get started.

The folders you are deleting are the stock ones that are created after the initial install. These are going to be replaced with the folders you downloaded... Follow the PDF, it's very straightforward.

Please translate as if you're teaching a 1st grader what to do. I get lost at step 14 b/c I don't know where they are to delete them. Then I'm not certain where the 4 new folders are that I'm to copy to the Cdrive. I 've been stuck here for hours!

Step 14. You need to open My Computer, click 'C Drive' and delete the following folders.

EC-APPS
EDIABAS
NSCEXPERT

You will DOWNLOAD the folders as shown in Step 15 from this link and copy them to the root of 'C Drive'

For everyone who's having issues setting the default folders, it is because some of the downloads excludes "empty" folders. Therefore, make sure your folder structure on the C drive are as follows (if you're missing a particular folder, create an empty one):

C:\EC-APPS\INPA:
BIN
CFGDAT
DEMO
DOCU
english
english.met
HELP
PRT
SGDAT
source

C:\EC-APPS\NFS:
BATCH
BIN
CFGDAT
DATA
DOKU
FORMAT
KMMDAT
SGDAT
TRACE
WORK

C:\EDIABAS:
API
BIN
DOKU
ECU
HARDWARE
HELP
SIM
TRACE
TUTORIAL

C:\NCSEXPER:
BIN
CFGDAT
DATEN
PFL
SGDAT
STDAT
TAB
VERPLATZ
WORK
