Saw this on M5Board and had to pass it along. It's an extremely simplified self-installer with some minor instructions. Now you can get the software (BMW Coding tool, NCS Expert, INPA, etc) up and running extremely easily even on a Windows 10 machine compatible with X64! Free bmw standard tools 5.0 download download software at UpdateStar. » download bmw standard tools 2.12. Debloating Windows 10 the easy way with O&O AppBuster.

This is a DIY solution from a K+DCAN user, who succeeds in setup Standard Tools 2.12 on Windows 10 x64 (64-bit.) that is never qualified by the BMW Group and is considered an experimental platform.

Tools tested with:

Windows 10 64-bit Home

(Warning for bad K+DCAN cable!!!)

I recommend starting with a fresh Windows 10 installation in order to collect the necessary INPA 5.0.2 scripts and configuration files that you will require once you have installed BMW Standard Tools 2.12.

When installing Windows 10, I suggest disabling as many of its controversial data collection tools as possible…caveat emptor !!

On this screen, make sure that you scroll down to access the error and diagnostic data collection setting.

The INPA 5.0.2 download is packaged in a RAR archive. I recommend first downloading the open source 7-Zip archive manager to extract its contents.
http://www.7-zip.org/

Downloading and installing 7-Zip is self explanatory:

Click on the 7-Zip icon on the Windows taskbar to bring 7-Zip to the foreground (in focus) and then click Install.

INPA 5.0.2 can be found here (this site is located in China and download speeds are very slow):

If you are using the Firefox browser, you may receive a warning similar to the one below.

Per Norton Safe Web (https://safeweb.norton.com/), six files on the site were found to be infected. INPA 5.0.2 is not amongst them:

Once the RAR archive 350517-inpa k+can.rar is downloaded, right click on the file. Click on 7-Zip and then I suggest clicking on Extract to “350517-inpa k+can“. 7-Zip will create a folder in the same location as the RAR archive with the same name. In this example, the RAR archive was downloaded to my Downloads folder (C:Users[Username]Downloads).

7-Zip extracted the contents of the RAR archive to the folder C:Users[Username]Downloads350517-inpa k+can.

Navigate to the folder C:Users[Username]Downloads350517-inpa k+caninpa. Copy the 01_Step1, 02_Step_2, and 03_Step_3 folders to the root of your C: drive (C:). This is necessary as the old (circa Windows 95) InstallShield 5.50.126.0 (SETUP.EXE) used to install the software has trouble with long filenames and deep folder hierarchies.

Navigate to the folder C:Users[Username]Downloads350517-inpa k+caninpa1_Step1. Copy the EC-APPS folder to the root of your C: drive. (C:)

Navigate to the folder C:1_Step1NFSEntpacktdisk1. Double-click on the SETUP.EXE file to begin the installation process.

When this screen appears, be sure to select Windows XP. For all other selections, accept the default and click Weiter which is German for “further.”

regsvr32 will fail to register two Windows ActiveX controls.

Click on OK and then click on the large red circle with a white X at the bottom of the screen to see the second regsvr32 error.

Click on OK to acknowledge the second error.

Bring the OBDSetup.exe window into focus by clicking on it. Notice the blue lines around the edge which indicate it is in focus. Press any key to exit OBDSetup.exe. Don’t be concerned about any registry key warnings, this installation of EDIABAS will never be used.

When prompted to reboot, select Nein for “No” and then click on Beenden or “End” to exit the installation program.

Navigate to the folder C:2_Step_2INSTALL. Double-click on the Instprog.exe file to continue the installation process.

Click OK.

Select English and click Continue.

Click Continue.

Select BMW Group Rectification programs UK and click Continue.

Under EDIABAS 6.4.3, select Update, under INPA 5.0.1, select Update, and under NCS expert 3.0.8, select Complete. Verify that the language is set to English metric. Click Continue.

Click Continue.

The archive contents will be extracted.

Click End.

Close the File Explorer window.

Navigate to the folder C:3_Step_3INSTALL. Double-click on the Instprog.exe file to continue the installation process.

Click OK.

Select English and click Continue.

Select BMW Group Rectification programs UK and click Continue.

Under INPA 5.0.1, select Update, under NCS expert 3.0.8, select Update. Verify that the language is set to English metric. Click Continue.

The archive contents will be extracted.

Click End.

Close the File Explorer window.

Navigate to the folder C:Users[Username]Downloads350517-inpa k+caninpa. Copy the INPA.INI file to the INPA CFGDAT folder located in C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT and overwrite the existing file.

You now have the INPA scripts and configuration files that you’ll need to get the latest version of INPA (5.0.6) up and running. Copy the the INPA CFGDAT and SGDAT folders to a USB thumb drive. They are located in the folder C:EC-APPSINPA. You will need these two folders to complete the BMW Standard Tools 2.12 installation process. Once you have these two folders, you will never need to install INPA 5.0.2 again.

I suggest downloading the above mentioned files and saving them to the same USB thumb drive that you copied the INPA CFGDAT and SGDAT folders to.

Blow away your previous installation of Windows and start over with a fresh install.INPA 5.0.2 and friends made changes to the Windows registry, etc. Now that you have the two folders needed to bootstrap INPA 5.0.6, it’s best to reinstall Windows.

Once Windows has been reinstalled, prepare to plug in your K+DCAN cable. From this point on, it is important that you always plug the K+DCAN cable into the same USB port as originally inserted prior to each use.

When the K+DCAN cable is initially inserted for the first time, ensure that your system has Internet network connectivity. Windows Update will silently install the latest FTDI drivers needed for the K+DCAN cable to function properly.

Depress the Windows logo key to display the Start menu. In the Start menu search box type the following and depress Enter to launch Device Manager:

Code:

When Device Manager opens, click on the arrow to the left of “Ports (COM & LPT)” to expand the Ports device tree. Double-click on “USB Serial Port (COM3)” to open the USB Serial Port properties.

Click on the Port Settings tab and then click Advanced to display the Advanced Settings for COM3.

Change the COM Port Number to COM1 and the Latency Timer to 1 msec and click OK. Click OK again to close the USB Serial Port properties.

The USB Serial Port should be set to COM1. Close Device Manager.

In this example, Standard_Tools_Setup_2.12.exe was copied from a USB thumb drive to my Downloads folder (C:Users[Username]Downloads). Right click on the file and select Troubleshoot compatibility.

Click Try recommended settings.

Click Test the program…

Click Next to begin the installation. For all other selections, accept the default and click Next.

When prompted to select additional tasks, de-select the Execute backup and restore wizard selections under Data backup. You don’t have an existing installation of BMW Standard Tools to backup. Click Next.

Click OK to acknowledge that the backup wizard has been deactivated.

When the Hardware Interface Settings screen appears, select USB to serial adapter. Click Next.

When prompted to restart, select No, I will restart the computer later. Click Finish to return to the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter.

Select Yes, save these settings for this program.

Select Close the troubleshooter.

Restart your system.

Please note: This section of the DIY could be improved for neophyte Windows users. It assumes that you understand command line syntax. In this context, X: denotes an unknown drive letter (i.e. the USB thumb drive that you saved your INPA CFGDAT and SGDAT folders to.) For example, if in Windows File Explorer under This PC your USB thumb drive is denoted as Drive E:, then you should use E: instead.

Code:

C:Users808>copy E:CFGDAT*.ENG C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v

14 file(s) copied.

If you chose to store the CFGDAT folder in another folder named MyStuff, then you would have to include MyStuff in the source path.

Code:

C:Users808>copy E:MYSTUFFCFGDAT*.ENG C:EC-APPSINPACFGDAT /v

14 file(s) copied.

The drive letter and path to the source file(s) is dependent on where you stored the files.

For the detail information please check this article:Install BMW INPA software on Win XP

BMW INPA Window 7/8 Installation Guide:

STEP 1: INSTALLING BMW STANDARD TOOLS

Download and install BST 212

Since BST (BMW Standard Tools) was designed for Win XP 32bit operating Systems, users have faced issues with tools like WinKFP and NCSExpert since Win 7 64bit systems have been introduced. Running in XP compatibility mode just wasn’t enough. Presenting you with several errors or not running at all. Only solution was to install on a XP system or like me… XP VMware. Well that all changed with BST 2.12 which works on 32 or 64bit systems.

WIN 7/8, 32/64bit OS

STEP 2: INSTALLING INPA software

(will need it after coding certain modules such as DME for CAS or EWS Alignment)

Download and install my version of INPA 5.06 with Fxx Support by simply

replacing the existing folders with the folders provided in the

Replace C:EC-AppsINPA

Replace C:EDIABAS

STEP 3: INSTALLING NCSEXPERT IN ENGLISH

Download and install NCSEXPER32_ENG.zip

Copy and replace contents in the .zip file with contents in C:NCSEXPERBIN. Now NSCExpert is in English but you will find the Hot Keys do not work. This is a bug a fellow MHH member discovered and haven’t really worked on trying to fix it so for the time being just click on the F# key with your mouse.Not done yet with NCSExpert. Need to import profiles to NCSExpert. How? well download the PFL.zip and copy and replace all contents from PFL.zip to [b]C:NCSExpertPFL. (you will also find a lot more PFL’s by searching for NCSExpert profiles in Google)

Now you have a working WinKFP and NCSExpert with profiles loaded on your PC we can continue to Step 4.

STEP 4: INSTALLING & CONFIGURATING DCAN INPA CABLE

Configure your DCAN/INPA cable. If you followed my steps correctly than your EDIABAS should already be configured to STD:OBD for use with the INPA cable. If not you can download ediabas-konfigurator from here if it is not already in your C:EDIABASEdiabas-Konfigurator folder. This tool allows you to easily change the ediabas.ini to your desired interface. So if you are switching from INPA to E-Sys you could use this to switch from STD:OBD to ENET.

Now to set your COM Port we must first find which COM port is being used for your cable.

Connect your cable to your PC (some may require a 12v supply to power the cable) Allow the device drivers to install (for best driver use the driver that came with your cable. If not then let windows install the best suitable driver for it) Navigate to Control Panel, Device Manager, and scroll to Ports (COM & LPT)…look at the pic

So in my case it’s COM5. So we need to change this in the obd.ini file located in the c:ediabasbin folder. But first lets make some changes to the cable.Right click on your INPA cable driver for example mine is labelled “USB Serial Port” and click on properties. Now in the property window click on the advanced tab.

Now every driver is different but the important part is the settings such as latency timer and received and transmit bytes. See pic bellow for the ideal settings. You may also change the COM port number here as well for tutorial I left it at 5. Once your changes are done we can proceed by clicking OK to accept the changes. No close all windows to return to the desktop.

STEP 5: CHANGING THE OBD.INI

Navigate to C:EDIABASBIN and find file obd.ini and open it with an editor such as notepad.

First 3 lines will look like this…

[OBD]

Port=Com1

Hardware=USB

So we need to change the Port to reflect our INPA cable which in our case is COM port 5. So change it to look like this…

[OBD]

Port=Com5

Hardware=USB

When done click File -> Save and exit out. Very important to remember which USB port you connected your cable to as plugging it into a different USB port will allocate the INPA cable to a different COM port and neither tool will see the cable until the original USB port is used again or changed in device manager and obd.ini as mentioned above.

Now to test if your cable installed correctly. Plug it into the vehicle’s OBD port and open INPA. You should look like this…

If not follow the above steps again and correct your error.

STEP 6: SPDATEN FILES

Download and install SPDaten files of your choice (always recommend the latest) in this case it is 51.2. Once downloaded you can now follow the instructions provided bellow labelled “How_to_start_WinKFP.pdf” this will explain how to import the SPDaten files to WinKFP.

Edit to update:

For NCSExpert to install or update the daten files, copy the files from SP-daten- E##daten to the C:NCSEXPERDATENE## (where E## is whatever chassis you’re updating). You will also want to copy the files from SP-daten-E##SGDAT to C:NCSEXPERSGDAT (they’re not separated into different chassis in NCS Expert, so you just want to copy and paste everything to that directory.

Overwrite everything it asks about). Then copy the files from SP-daten-E##ECU to C:EDIABASECU

After copying the daten files to c:NCSEXPERDATENE## copy the following files to the following locations:

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.000 C:NCSEXPERDATEN

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.DAT C:NCSEXPERDATEN

copy C:NCSEXPERDATENE##*.ASC C:NCSEXPERDATEN
