Problem installing INPA

[65fastback]

I am having troubles with the INPA installation. I have downloaded the 3 INPA 6.4.3 files from the NCS folder from 4shared.com and the ENGLISH SETUP.pdf and the Installprog901.exe from the Install folder. When I run the exe. file it takes me to the setup and I get an error message right here:

6. Select configuration "BMW Group Rectification programs UK" and click continue (this
selection makes INPA run in English which is kind of useful!)

When I click continue it gives me an error message: UNLHA32 Error Report (on UnlhaMain : 2) A LZH Archive not found. : 'C:/DOCUMENTS.LZH'
Then it closes the installation.

Put the installation on a CD and run from there. David just let me know about this today.

I think I got INPA installed.

I made the files into an ISO image and mounted with Daemon Tools Pro.

Installed OK, but INPA worked crappy. SO... it appears you MUST burn it to DVD.

I un-installed it, as I dont have a DVD drive on my new Ideapad.

There's no need to make an ISO image or burn a CD. Mount the NRG image that you get from extracting the INPA 6.4.3 files in Daemon tools lite, and run Installprog901.exe (or Installprog.exe) from the Daemon tools drine.

Hi: I am in exact same posture as you reported on this thread. My INPA came already on a cd and I thought I was doing this right but what exactly did you do differently after you posted this problem?

thanks

I create a new folder on C drive called INPA_CD,then put all files from downloaded INPA,then run install from INPA_CD.

Thank you, Paul, and in the meantime I figured out my problem: the software I bought came on one cd, but it was compressed. Trying to "run it off the cd" was fruitless and extracting files to my desktop got me nowhere either (didn't think C: drive).


FINALLY it hit me to extract to computer, to its own folder, then burn that decompressed folder to its own cd. Then run installation off of THAT cd. It worked.


Was not on the inx sheet, which is missing some other minor items but that was the biggie.


Thanks everyone, and I hope revisiting this issue here helps the next person.


fwiw I threw misfire codes in cylinder 5. My next project...

Thanks Paul. Easiest fix ever!

For whatever it's worth, it seems that the "root" of the problem is that the install software is allergic to spaces and punctuation.

While burning it to a CD will solve the problem, it does that because the files are then on the root of the CD drive, with no intervening file names.
I was trying to install it from a file folder on my desktop, so the files were in "BMW Software" which was on "My Desktop"
That's two spaces right there.
I just took the whole folder and moved it to the root of the C-drive (C:\) and it worked fine.

As a Mac guy, I find this stupid WinDOS formatting stuff an infuriating waste of my time, but I guess it is what it be.

If anyone is looking for a good IMPA install, I can send you the 756mb file through google docs. Send me a PM.

Hey fellas ive tried both way and still haven't made any progress, the setup still give me the unlha32 error. Any ideas why. My program came on a disk no luck, copies to desktop no luck, places in to of c drive no luck.

There are two Inpa Folders on the CD. One is a uncompressed Folder and the other is as ISO image to be mounted. I solved this issue by installing from the mounted ISO image.

I did that and still gives me error I checked all file locations and made sure there were no spaces I deleted everything from the c drive and reinstalled it fresh from the cd and boom same error is there something I can do in cmd or move files around or rename a file or configure that file in the install folder?
