there is no need to run from the administrator, the patch has a built-in request for administrator rights, if UAK is disabled, there will be no request window, the patch will continue without prompting. You do not need to unload VIDA Monitor (if running), the patch itself unloads it and starts it after. after the CMD window closes, wait for VIDA Monitor to load (green arrow on the tray icon). click Install (confirm administrator rights in the pop-up window if it appears). the path does not need to be changed if VIDA was installed by default. the end date of the subscription has been changed to. Now I only hope my Volvo DICE unit still works!Īll of the above was done after a unsuccessful installation with the ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message after installing.The info in the patch linked above translates as follows, note that it does a bit more than a simple patch:

I did all of the above in that order and it worked for me after over 8 months of pissing about trying to get this sodding software working. Its a dos programme so you will just see a couple of DOS windows open and close. Reboot and then install the ‘crack’ without changes the field. Select Internet and then let it carry on installing. Then you should get the VCC Intranet / VCC Internet /Internet options come up. Then reinstall VIDA 2014D using the normal ‘all in one’ option. Then open ‘program files’ folder and delete the two folders ‘Volvo’ and ‘Volvo cars’. Then you must go into ‘My computer’, Local disc (C:\), and delete the folder named VIDA. Then go back into ‘Add/remove programmes’ and uninstall VIDA only! Do not uninstall anything else. In the right hand pane you need to make sure that ‘SQL server (SQLEXPRESS)’ and ‘SQL Server (VIDA)’ are both set to ‘automatic’. In the left hand pane left click on ‘SQL Server Services’. To do this I went into Windows START button/ programs/ Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/ Configuration Tools/ SQL Configuration Manager…(left click on it to open) With lots of help from forum friends, I’ve actually managed to get my VIDA working! Then after reboot and run the patch it can’t find ‘VIDA Monitor’. I get the ‘security – ok’, ‘Framework35 – ok, ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message. My VOLVO VIDA 2014D had “VIDA NOT OK” during installation.
