    WAR Chip software install issue

    Picked up a 173 WAR chip from a r3v member. Installed it in my spare 173 ECU and contrary to the user manual no window pops up to run the install wizard.

    Anyone have any ideas? Is there a way I can download the software and then run the chip off that?

    What pc software are you running?
    It will only run in XP.
    SO if you have win7 you have to download the XP emulator from windows

          solved

          Got a quick response back from Miller this afternoon. Apparently once the chip runs the install wizard it deletes the software it carries after instillation. I picked up the chip second hand and it had been run by the PO. They allowed me to download the software from their site and it's working. Looking forward to testing it out in car this weekend.
