Help with two versions of inpa

[bjornk]

I think that when I set up my laptop , i ordered a cd from bimmergeeks with its standard tools .

But the cable I ordered from somewhere else, also came with some software and though the install instructions where pretty bad, they just seemed easier,,,, at the time all I was interested in was inpa, so I followed the easier set of instructions. And just left standard tools unpacked but not installed. I had a car to fix.

Fast forward to today and I want to flash my dme. The bimmer geeks folders sitting in my desktop have ncs expert, ncs dummy inpa, winfkp. In addition they have daten files and in general , their versions are a little newer.

But the Ediabas/inpa , I presently have running works just fine, and it does have winfkp

Opinions please: is it worth it to go with the newer versions or does it really matter ? I have an e 39 if that matters.

Should I completely uninstall the older working version before installing the newer? Shame I can’t just update...


I hear two versions on same drive is bad mojo... is that just a rumor?

Thanks in advance, trying not to brick the dme,

My main issue is that on the install I did using the stuff that came with cable, all mi win fkp stuff is in German,

The bimmer geeks tools clearly looks like a better compiled system and I see English files etc,

I’m sure I can probably just pull something over and make it work but it’s probably just easier to fully install the bimmer geeks stuff
