I'm in the same boat. I got the dvd, but am having a hell of a time trying to install it. I have Vista on my laptop, and I'm not exactly a computer guru. I have a 2004 Z06 with some power adders, and definitely need some help getting this dvd installed. Any help would be hugely appreciated. I am a new member to the forum. My email address is CSMDave@gmail.com.
Thanks for your assistance (and patience).

PM me your email address. I just happened to have created a PDF file of those instructions. You'll need to completely uninstall the product and follow these instructions to the letter. If you try and wing it, you'll just end up right where you are right now, not realizing the amount of data that you actually have access to.

Just a warning to some people. The DVD sets do not work on a few systems. They require a different set of install instructions.
The 7 sets CD-roms are the real originals and work on all windows systems from XP to Vista 64 bit.
I get E-mails and PMs all the time with people asking for help with the DVDs. The application CD and the data are all on one disc and windows will give a copy redundancy error and you'll be out of luck. Not all people have this problem but some do.
Just a bit of info.

So how does one fix it?

Somebody needs to host a PDF file of the manual. I just downloaded a 500-page service manual for my 954RR from my CBR forum, printed it, 3-hole punched it, and put it in a binder. It's great and a great way to save $50.
If not, somebody with an available copy of the CD manual PM me please.
Thanks

I'm glad this thread resurfaced
I've had this disk set for a few years. Even though it came with full install instructions I never had any luck getting it to run. According to the vendors it was a firewall/security settings issue. I gave up and bought the paper manuals.
I just bought a new PC and luckily I decided to run Win XP on it. This has persuaded me to have another shot at installing it. I'll let you know how it goes

Well it worked
I can only think it was my old PC causing the problems
Followed the instructions and it installed like a dream. Gotta go to work now but I'll spend some time later running through it.

You better get one fast! The last Yugo recently rolled off (or perhaps fell off) the assembly line about a week ago, in the Czech Republic.
