Nice!

Glad that cleared it up!

So, with the cable plugged in, COM port set to COM1 (and Latency to 1), and the EDIABAS.INI syntax fixed, does INPA load up without errors now?

You should see the two black dots (Battery and Ignition) filled in when you connect to the car. Let us know if you're fully operational.

That error means the Windows Script Host cannot locate the target file specified in the shortcut. It's looking for it here: C:\EC-APPS\INPA\BIN\INPALOADER.vbs

Please check the following:

1. Did you extract the contents of the archive directly to your C:\ drive root? The file structure is critical and must reside at C:\EC-APPS.
2. Open File Explorer and navigate manually to C:\EC-APPS\INPA\BIN\. Do you see the INPALOADER.vbs file there?
3. If the file is missing, check your antivirus quarantine. Sometimes these loader scripts get flagged falsely.

If you installed the EC-APPS folder to a different location (like D:\ drive or a subfolder), you will need to right-click the shortcut, select Properties, and edit the "Target" path to point to where the .vbs file actually resides on your system.

Regarding the download limit: If the link is on Mega.nz, they have a strict bandwidth limit for free users (you have to wait or use a VPN). If it's Google Drive and it says "Quota Exceeded," sign into your Google account, add the file to your Drive, make a copy of it, and download the copy.

Regarding the missing .vbs file:

Yes, Windows Defender (or any 3rd party Antivirus) almost certainly deleted it immediately upon extraction.

Scripts that automate shortcuts or register components (like .vbs or .bat files included in these packs) are frequently flagged as "False Positives" because they modify system settings.

• Go to Windows Security -> Virus & threat protection.
• Click Protection history.
• Look for a recent "Severe" or "High" threat that was blocked/quarantined.
• Click the dropdown and select Restore or Allow.

You will likely need to turn off "Real-time protection" temporarily, re-extract the downloaded zip file, and then run the setup. Once installed, add the C:\EC-APPS folder to your antivirus exclusions list so it doesn't delete files later.

Even if you have uninstalled all third-party antivirus (Norton, McAfee, etc.), Windows Defender is built deep into Windows 10 and 11. It is active by default and is notorious for silently deleting .vbs and .bat files from these BMW tool packs immediately upon extraction.

You must check: Settings -> Update & Security -> Windows Security -> Virus & threat protection -> Protection History. If Defender ate the file, it will be listed there, and you can restore it.

However, depending on exactly which "64-Bit" pack you downloaded, there might not actually be a .vbs file.

• Mike's Easy BMW Tools: Uses an .exe installer.
• Standard Tools 2.12 (Referenz): Usually has a Setup.exe.
• Custom 64-Bit Packs: Often just contain folders (EC-APPS, EDIABAS) that you must copy-paste manually, and sometimes a .reg file or a .bat file to register components.

If you are looking for a script to create the desktop shortcuts and it is missing, you can just do it manually:

1. Navigate to C:\EC-APPS\INPA\BIN\
2. Right-click INPALOAD.EXE -> Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut).
3. Navigate to C:\EC-APPS\NCSEXPERT\BIN\
4. Right-click NCSEXPER.EXE -> Send to -> Desktop (create shortcut).

If you are looking for a script to register the OCX files (which is required if you get "Component not correctly registered" errors), look for a file named Register.bat or Registrator.exe in the download folder. If that is missing, you definitely have an antivirus/Defender issue.
