You'll need to locate the installable .EXE file. Files with a .BMP extension are just bit-mapped graphics files.

I think the majority of us here with Diagnostics now use Diabox, and I just noticed that if this is for your C4 GP it will likely need Diagbox anyway. In case you didn't know Diagbox also contains the encapsulated Lexia and PP2000 software and will launch whichever version is required for the vehicle being tested.

Make sure you are using a 32 bit Operating System (Win 7 is fine). This will be required should you need to use the encapsulated Lexia or Peugeot Planet 2000 on another vehicle as these particular apps are written using 16 Bit code and will not run on any 64 Bit OS unless using a virtual machine (VM). I personally do not recommend VMs at all for diagnostics sue to the other communication errors and problems that can arise.

As I don't know what version your VCI is, I would install Diagbox V7.02 to start with and then see if you can communicate with the vehicle. Some older units don't have all the hardware components and may have issues talking to some newer vehicles. No 2 are the same it seems!

I always recommend using a separate laptop for diagnostics that is kept with only the basics on - no other unnecessary software or bloatware. Get the latest windows updates and then turn off the windows update service as that can be VERY resource intensive when doing a diagnostic session and can slow things down incredibly.

Follow the installation instructions fully and ensure you don't have any anti virus programmes running and disconnect from the Internet (but leave your wireless or network card enabled).

It is not a good idea to be connected to the Internet while running a Lexia session, in case it tries to update/register the software and gets shut down. I will make sure the WiFi is turned off on my netbook whenever I am planning on connecting it to my C5.

I would not go past this update - it should have everything you need and is the stable version.

Also do not mix updates from different authors - they sometimes need to be applied in sequence from the same author or you will corrupt the data files.

Hey crispinchurch,

how did you manage to install the program? I currently have the same problem. Already tried it on win XP emulation and on original win xp.
Only the control panel pops up for a micro second.

You'll need to explain a little more clearly what your problem is.

The Problem is that the Instlex3.exe in the Lexia 45 folder has the wrong sign (win command box instead of CD with Citroën sign). If I double click the command box pops up and closes without a message.
Thats all what happens.
