I spent pretty much the entire workday and evening at home yesterday learning what GT1\DIS is,
obtaining it, and then figuring out how to install it. It was no easy feat, as I have no access to
bmwecu.org, where most of the information seems to be hidden (according to the few bits and pieces
of information I could obtain). So I've put the steps I found necessary to install EasyDIS v.44. Credit to
bmwecu.org who apparently developed this easy install.
•
Software Required:
o Easy DIS v.44 BASE iso
o Easy DIS v.44 Program iso
o VMware v.6
o Daemon Tools
•
NOTE: Follow every direction exactly. When I say to use Daemon Tools, use Daemon Tools. I
had some complications when I burned the ISO’s to CD, and could not activate the Programs
disc. I cannot help you with the instructions or install of GT1, this article is the help I have
provided. -Randomy
