i am runnign V130 in a VM and wanted another solution - i got a newer version with my mangoose however MS defender didnt like the CD and took action!! eek...
so i googled it and was very surprised at what i found.. V160 is out there so I gave that a go - unfortunately i am running an oldish laptop upgraded to Windows 10 32bit which barely meet the minimum requirements, it ( HV safety install?) didnt like my OS but SDD installed anyway however didn't open due to parallel config missing HV thingy?
what i also came across was links to software for pre 06 vehicles and post 2016 vehicles...
gonna try V158 and older when i get a chance - it was a few hours lost felt like I wasted the day

Alibro sorted out a laptop with SDD (V158?). It's an old laptop, running Windows 7 I think, as that's what SDD seems to like.
It works just fine for me. I even programmed a replacement ECM with it.

There's a dedicated thread for SDD, over on the general forum.

cheers nodge - I just normally come ere and check new threads. ill pop over to the general section and have a gander

There's 163 now, all work fine but it wants win7 32bit. Win10 will load it but you will encounter issues on more serious actions. Believe me I have tried.
