Mercedes TIS workshopmanual on DVD/Cd ex E-bay
Has anyone bought on e-bay (seller dumbosoft)the G class TIS workshpp manual on 2 DVD with cd instruction video(very cheap only £5.95 plus £1.70 postage) and successfully loaded it on their PC. My wife was going to surprise me for my birthday tomorrow but has just spent 2 days trying to load it without much success.Its not the cost but the disappointment. Has she wasted her money ? She normally manages to solve most pc problems as I am a bit of a novice.
Yes, I done it.
You'll have to uninstall everything and start again.
Best is to have two pc's side by side or a laptop and pc and run and pause the install video as you go along. Imperative to follow the instructions step by step. Also worth to remember that, ideally you should install it on a seperate computer and then never connect it to the internet or use for anything else at all. Initially installed on the laptop and was working perfectly until doing a windows update and then it all went pearshaped. Now running on an older (previously redundant) PC.
If its the WIS you are talking about it wont run without a network card as it has to see an installed network. If you don't have one search on Google for a network emulator and install it Uninstall the WIS and try again: that should trick the system into working.
Be warned tho even if you get it to work its no substitute for the old paper manual (the GWOA one) there is very little on the WIS for the 460 g - much better on the later 463s.
Thanks, unfortunately we only have the one family pc which we use for internet etc.so not an option. Appreciate your comments.
Luckily I have the GWOA workshop manual cd so not a major problem.
Perhaps able to pick up a redundant PC at a car boot. At least it did not cost as heap of money.cheers
