also could i be running into a problem with downloading to my D drive. I in no way can get enough space to save it to my C: drive. i have 90 gbs open but it still says there isnt enough space. So when i go to run the exe file it never asks what drive i want it on. it assumes i want it on C: drive. So i might have extraceted to many files.

Chatgpt did give me a way around the issue and was able to run the installer on the D; drive
below is a photo of me trying to reisntall.
posted a short video as well with a pic.

INSTALLATION:
‣1. Disable Windows Defender and other antivirus programs during installation.
‣2. Install 7ZIP (if not already installed).
‣4. Install all add-ons from the Windows folder.
‣5. Run the "BMW ISTA+ Standalone.exe" file.
(Installation may take up to 3 hours, but it's easier to leave it overnight ).
‣6. Add the "C:\Program Files\BMW" folder to Windows Defender exceptions.
(At this point, ISTA is ready for use in diagnostic mode; you don't need to download or install "PSDZ Lite").
‣7. Full version with programming: activate the "full-with-programming" registry file, download and unzip "PSdZData full" to "C:\Program Files\BMW\ISPI\TRIC\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi".
OR create a symbolic link if you need the full "PSDZ" database to be located elsewhere. location. To do this, open "CMD" as administrator and enter the command (example):
mklink /D "C:\Program Files\BMW\ISPI\TRIC\ISTA\PSdZ\data_swi" "C:\EC-APPS\PSDZ\data" —
where the first quotation marks indicate the desired path to "PSDZ" in "ISTA," and the second quotation marks indicate the actual path to "PSDZ."
‣8. Russification: Unzip the "RU SQLiteDBs" archive to "C:\Program Files\BMW\ISPI\TRIC\ISTA\SQLiteDBs" and change the language in the settings.
