Sven Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Didn't know whether to post it here or in the IT corner... So plz relocate it if neccesary I have (finally) dld an Etka, in a *.rar file.(VW-Audi Etka new 2002.rar) Inside are: Audi Etka.bin - 757.388kb Audi Etka.cue - 1kb Also I found (seperately) two .exe files (cracks?) Winetka(VW-Audi-Etka_new_2002-Etka_6_Crack).exe - 676kb Audi Etka new 2002 - Etka 6 Crack please visit.exe - 266kb The first gives an error message it can't find LEXHDL5.dll, the other just opens and closes a dos window, w/o actually doing anything. There is no install or exe in the .rar file, so how can I install this? Anyone know about this? Please help me out with this, I'd like it to run... Maybe I could help some of you in return when it runs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 What you need to do is load nero, or similar CD writing software. Pick the "burn disk image" option, and change to the folder contaning the .bin & .cue files, the cue tells your cd writer software how to burn the .bin to your CD. Once thats written, you install as usual from the CD, hey presto, you'll probably find the cracks work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 I tried a similar file. with said crack etc. it loades but doesnt get past hardlock. said installation (even now long since deleted and uninstalled )has also knackered up any chance of installing my Cannon Scanner, so i will have to wipe HD and do a fresh install.

Sven Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Cheers for that Snail! I'll try that! Paul, you remember the exact name of that crack? You got me scared a bit... What's "hardlock" btw? Youy mean the system freezes or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt R Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 These are the instructions from my Etka Disk, should make it clear!! Hardlock is the way round having a dongle installed in the back of your computer to run Etka, which is part of VWs Security to stop people from using the software that are not dealers!! Installation Instructions. Please be sure to have hidden files showing. In "My Computer" and "Windows Explorer", Go to "Tools", click "View Tab" and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. 1)Install using the ETKSETUP.exe icon. 2)Copy LEXHDL5.DLL from the cd to x:\et_prog directory. Where x is the harddrive that the program is installed. This will bypass the Hardlock dongle. 3)Create a shortcut to WINETKA.exe on your desktop, from the et_prog directory above. You now use this icon to run the ETKA not the one it installs in the start menu. Or it will not run smoothly. 4)Your display must have the ability for 1024x1280 resolution or you won't be able to see the whole screen. 17" inch or larger is recommended. 5)System Requirements: Win95,98,NT,ME,2000,XP; Pentium II or higher; 400 megabytes of harddrive space; CD-ROM Drive; Resolution of 1280 x 1024. Super detailed instructions for those novices on the computer: Please be sure to have hidden files showing. In "My Computer" and "Windows Explorer", Go to "Tools", click "View Tab" and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. - Put CD into CD drive - Go to Windows explorer - click on CD rom drive (usually D drive), it should say EKTA next to the drive. - you should see a bunch of folders, A, D, E, etc. 4th icon from the bottom should read "ETKSETUP.EXE", click on that. - this should put you into the set up mode. Install the English version. Make sure that you install it under the "C" drive folder, once it is done installing, you still need to do 2 more things. 1) go back to Windows explorer and click back on D: , the very next to last item there is LEXHDL5.DLL, right click and "copy" it. It is right above the read me. txt . Then go to "C" drive and find the folder "et_prog" folder, click on folder and then paste LEXHDL5.DLL to that folder. This is very important!! 2) After you do that you can now create a shortcut. Right click on WINEKTA.EXE in the "et_prog" and highlight and click on create short cut. This will create a shortcut for you in the same folder. Make your window a little bit smaller so you can highlight the new shortcut and drag it to your desktop. Once there you can change the icon if you want to the ETKA icon which in the "et_prog" folder and also change the name if you like by right clicking and renaming. YOU must ALSO make sure, that your screen is set to a 1024x1280 resolution. You can do that by right clicking on your desktop and go to settings and then slide the resolution over to 1024x1280. You must be in this resolution EVERY TIME you are working with EKTA. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Thanks a lot Matt! That's really clear! Screen's on 1400 x 1050, so I'll have to scale it. Notebook monitor is 15", not much I can do about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 it can be done. just replace the dll file as per Matts description then replace the Winekta.exe (in the et_prog file again) on harddrive with the one out the cracked file on the disk. runs off the installed start up icon too. so ive heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven Posted November 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I Guess I'll wait for Dutchcab... I prefer a Dutch version over a German one anyway... Die grammatik in diesen Sprache ist sowieso Scheisse! Nichtwar? Oder...? Schweinerei und alles dabei, Und so weiter... Radfahren ist auch nich alles wenn's regnet, aber Autobahnen sind fabelhaft! Verzeihung, jetzt geht's mir wieder besser! Lieben Gruß, Sven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwijnands Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 For anyone who has good internet newsgroup access: version 6.11 of ETKA is now being posted in alt.binaries.boneless, alt.binaries.nl and alt.binaries.x. It is not the latest one, according to the information with the post version 6.2 is current at the VW/Audi dealers right now. Sven, it should be newer than the one you got from me last week.

Sven Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Thanks mate, but I'm not into newsgroups (never tried somehow) so I wouldn't know where to look. But this one works for me (except the prices that is). Maybe I could DL it some time if you're getting it, but no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt R Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 www.easynews.com has it but you have to pay $9.99 to download up to 6GB a month, I use it anyway so have just downloaded it will see if it works later! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwijnands Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I downloaded it during the night. Unfortunately it's the exact same version I already had, which means it's Dutch. Oh well, better luck next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
