Default ETKA 7 if you're looking for help....

The ISO file needs to be burned to a DVD to be installed OR use a program like PowerISO to mount the image to a virtual Drive ;-)

Power ISO Can be found here: http://www.poweriso.com/download.htm

Make sure that there is not an existing folder in the root of the C drive named "ETKA", if there is rename it.( will not install with the folder existing)

Then run setup from the disc (virtual or otherwise). This install will take about 1 hour to complete and on my copy the progress indicator did not process. FYI..no worries it's fine...

After the install is complete you can just RUN ETKA from the shortcut.
Also on my version I had to change the language to English.

Once that is complete, check out the other files in there, they are the price updates and new additions. In date order install them one at a time. It will ask for a password. The password is the last line in the text file, there. Or for those needing to brush up on their German it
is:
AKTEForum.TK

Also people have been asking how to change the language, "I selected english, but the program is in German.."

The select english only pertains to the setup. To change the program to english open ETKA and select the Audi (or your brand)

then press the function button, and look at the spaces the number of items are the same (German or English)

Then just select the language you want to display, and it will switch as soon as it's checked. Very cool.

Also ETKA7.. is not ELSAWIN. there is no repair manual / wiring diagrams in it.. (sorry) but people were asking.,

Hope that 'bout answers the install questions.

Default you could also use an emulator like Daemon Tools if you've already downloaded it

Default a couple of issues

first, thanks for the post, a great help!

help doesn't appear to load, the html/help directory is basically empty. is this normal?

you reference "checking out other files in there". what do you mean? the rar file references "more downloads" but these are in german and hard to decipher for a non-computer-nerd.

otherwise where do you load the "price updates and new additions"?

thanks
