Anyone tell me which file to use and how to run it?

[robbocop33]

Hi, bought something off Ebay, it was a program i bought and was just given a link to download it. Can anyone tell which of the files in the screenshot below i have to use, and which program i use to install and make it run? Thanks!

What was it called?

Install, InstallMain, and that TD 2019 thing look plausible.

Post the link?

Open "autorun" with Notepad. It will contain a reference to the file that will start program setup. My bet is on install.exe

I tried the install one but i got this message ""something's gone wrong! The source path does not exist! Installation will be rolled back"
Programs called Tecdoc, car parts information progam.

Just says open=install. exe, i've tried that but it only installs so far and i get the message in my previous post.
Does it maybe all need mounted like an iso file to be able to install? Bit rusty with all this lately. :-)

The only thing I can think is to change the file extension on TD 2019-01 Setup full from md5 to exe and try it.

Otherwise I think you'll be emailing their support guys in the morning. Sorry!

The MD5 file is a hash file. I don't know why it is so big though.

An MD5 is 16 bytes.

Thus my suspicion that this file doesn't contain one.

Can you but the whole lot to a CD?

Alternatively you could mount the folder as a drive using subst i.e. subst k [path to folder] then run k:\install.exe

Might also be worth setting the folder to read only.

I don't want to tell you to suck eggs op... however, I presume you downloaded this as a zip file?

If so, have you fully extracted this, prior to executing the install file? Windows will allow you to browse through the file without extraction, but I have seen errors on other programms trying to install them this way.

Extract fully and then try launching the install .exe file.

That's a bloody good point.

What files are in the Program subdirectory?

Download all the files and put them in one folder on your hard drive/desktop and run install from there.

I've tried that, what you see in the pic above is exactly what i got after download, no zip files, and at 36gb it's a bit large to put on a cd. I might try to mount it in an iso program.

Well so far so hooky.....
I've enrolled on an online vehicle tech course, this was one of the vehicle information sources given to me, Ebay was the first place i looked, i've emailed him back anyway, i'll just open a case up and get the money back.
I've found another good site where you pay monthly, they have a private version of their service and a business one.
