Diagbox and Lexia after Windows XP

Unread post by xsaras4ever »

Hello again to all.

Will Diagbox, PP2000 and Lexia run on anything after Windows XP ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, runs OK in 32 bit applications - I had it on Vista, others have run it on Win 7. Not sure about win 8, but that's best avoided anyway! If you have a 64 bit OS then you need to run a virtual machine with a 32 bit version installed - more than one person on here done that with Win 7. Don't think anyone's tried Win10 yet, but I now have a Laptop with that on now, so will be trying to get it to run (mines 64 bit thought, so I expect it needs a virtual machine).

32 bit versions of Vista and Windows 7 work fine, I suspect that 32 bit versions of Windows 8 and 10 would work too, but nobody has confirmed it yet.

64 bit versions of anything will not work - you can install the software and use Diagbox, but you cannot use Lexia or PP2000 meaning that most older cars (before approx 2004-2007) can't be fully diagnosed or diagnosed at all. So you need to run a 32 bit OS within a VM to get full functionality on a 64 bit OS.

Is there a guide anywhere for setting this up ? I run Lexia on an old (very slow) XP laptop that I don't use for anything else. It would be great to get is running on my current Windows 7 64bit laptop
