I am helping with a project involving a 1999 Audi S8 enigine and need the wiring diagrams. I have been told that these can be obtained via Elsawin, but finding it hard to download, without infecting my home PC with all sorts of junk.

Where can i get access to Elsawin to get the wiring diagrams i need?

Thanks

Plenty of listings on ebay for licensed media from £9 delivered.

None of the sellers have huge feedback numbers, but suspect that they have to change ebay IDs quite frequently...

I read lots of forums and noted that these sellers send blank discs or discs containing TeenWolf 2 and other quality films.
Hence posting here.

I purchased Elsa discs from ebay in 2013 without any issues.

One wonders whether one would post such discs to fellow PHers?

Live dangerously; if you want to play with ElsaWin then risk a whole £9 on an ebay purchase.

I have asked one of the Ebay sellers to confirm if it will install on Win 10 - I guess the answer will be yes and then no come back.....

It uses SQL Express 2008 as its back end database on the newest version and its that wont work on Win 10:

You might get away with an earlier version which used a proprietary database format

I guess the only other option is to install on a non networked standalone Win 7 machine?

Or run Windows virtual PC and run a virtual Win 7 on your Win 10 machine.

Does ElsaWin need internet connection to work?

I have it installed on my Win8 machine no trouble. I definitely didn't illegally download it via a torrent...
