Hi, I was thinking of picking up ETKA off ebay and wondered if anyone had it working on Windows 7 64-bit?
I had ETKA ages back but that was on Vista 32-bit
Cheers

What is ETKA?
-
I don't think there is a version of ETKA that works on Windows 7 64 bit, the same goes for ELSA.
If i am wrong, then please let me know, as i'll be buying a copy :grin:

Thinking about it... running in compatability mode might be a way round it? or virtual machine?
-
Compatability mode won't work. Virtual XP will, but you need professional for that.

Google'd up some info, how about this: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/11060/create-an-xp-mode-for-windows7-home-versions-and-vista/

All the latest ETKA's list non compatible with 64 bit. It won't install on my laptop.
What are you doing that everyone else isn't?

It doesn't work on 64 bit without an emulator, you need Pro for this.
Are you thick?
-
No, but it sounds like you have the dumb-assed Home version of Windows 7. Only a dumb-assed consumer would buy that, not Pro, or Ultimate in 64bit.
Buy once, buy right, or look stoopid.

Well I run Widows 7 Home Premium 64bit, so I guess I'm your dumb-assed consumer :rolleyes:
ETKA works perfectly on my machine.
I could also tell you where to get ETKA for nothing, but then I guess you wouldn't want advice from a dumb-ass. :grin:
-
What updates are you installing? Is it defo ETKA 7 you are trying to install and not 7.2?
I'm up to update 820 so far, got some more to install later up to about 851

update 597?! I'm on 820!! It's absolutely useless unless you keep up with new p/numbers and deleted parts

You mean all those new part numbers VW are coming up with for my 8 year old car?
I won't lose sleep over it.... :wink:
PS, for what it is worth, I have access upto pre 848 :nerd:

Updates after 848 will only work with version 7.3, which is the one that seems to have probs with Win 7 :wink:
