Who has installed ETK 2009 yet?

[Aptyp]

I can't seem to find sysadm for the new installation.

My old sysadm, doesn't have ETK drop down in it at all, and doesn't allow me to reinstall TIS.

Help please.

[ZiMMie]

[Aptyp]

i like ETK and TIS, makes it so much easier finding parts numbers, expired numbers, search by VIN, and torque specs.

It really is night and day difference.

yea ETK is awesome, on that note

wanna burn me a copy? ill paypal you some love

[Aptyp]

I will burn a DVD of it, IF I figure out how it installs


How hard was it have a simple Install.exe? Instead, you have install Sysadm, c-dilla, xmls (microsoft data crap) and make sure all that is standalone and not server. Despite being an English version, all installation help files are in German with 40 syllable words.

I need help.
