It was noted in one of the YouTube how to's that I saw. An even better tip is to make sure your Anti Virus is off when you do the install...

A bit off topic but i still have lexia at the moment & never upgraded to diagbox. My dilemma is my interface is a pukka actia one & dont know if there is a risk of bricking the interface using a cracked copy of the software. Does anyone know if this is the case ?

I'm no expert but from what I've read the earlier Actia interfaces are just too early to update. You're probably better off doing what I'm intending to do and buy a complete later kit - already installed onto a laptop (at extra cost!) if you can justify it.

Others will be better qualified to confirm what I'm saying.

That is one of the reasons why the actia kits were 'leased' by the dealers - they have a certain life span, then were returned and new kits issued under a new agreement that included updates to the software. There is always a risk in trying to update an older interface. We know that newer versions of Diagbox require later firmware revisions to work with some models. Updating an older interface with a newer firmware could result in unexpected problems - although I cannot confirm this on a 'pukka' kit.
