Older builds 4.45.30 / 4.50.xx use the same layout – only the version numbers change.Installation (short)
- Create a working folder (for example: C:\ISTA_4.52.40).
- Place ista_standalone_installer_4.52.40.exe and all 4.52.40 *.7z archives into this folder.
- Create subfolder SQLiteDBs and put all GLOBAL_* and language SQLite *.7z archives inside it, as in the example above.
- (Optional) Add SDP_4.52.xx.7z if you plan to use ISTA for programming with full PSdZ data.
- Run the installer as Administrator, choose target path (commonly C:\Rheingold) and wait for extraction to complete.
- After installation, start ISTA using the desktop shortcut and configure your interface (K+DCAN, ENET or ICOM) under Administration → VCI Config.
Supported interfaces
- K+DCAN USB cable (E-series, some F-series)
- ENET Ethernet cable (F/G-series, I-series)
- BMW ICOM A2 / ICOM Next with included ICOM firmware pack
Notes & recommendations
- Windows 10/11 x64 recommended. Run installer and ISTA with Administrator rights.
- Temporarily disable antivirus / SmartScreen if they block the installer or patched executables.
- For ECU programming with SDP/PSdZdata use a stable power supply and original ICOM – do this only if you understand the risks.
- This is an offline / educational package. Use on your own responsibility.
