I am picking up an E8 this weekend. I would like to download the software ASAP but am having problems.

I have gone to the Haltech website and downloaded the E8 v1.62 and v1.89 versions but am unable to open either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...maybe I can't get the solftware to run because it's 2:00am and my brain is very tired


thanks....

 

What are the specs on the computer you are trying to open it on?

 

Maybe there's some incompatibility...

 

No issues on the computer...It meets all the requirement and i running windows XP. The computer is a Dell Latitude D630.

Not sure on the incompatibility...

Not that it matters but i have the power fc software and AEM software on the computer.

 

You need to unzip the file before you try to install it. Have you done that?

 

Is this a tablet PC? If so it won't work with the E8 software.

 

I will try to post a screen shot of what i have downloaded.

 

Instead of double clicking the icon to get the where you are above, right-click and select unzip. Once it's unzipped you will be able to install the software.

 

Nothing seems to work. I even downloaded to my other laptop and i still can get it to open.

 

another screen shot....

 

Do not double-click the icon for the zipped file that you downloaded.
Right-click that icon and this menu will appear.





Select the option I have highlighted in the above screen shot - extract to here.
Once the file is extracted there will be another folder titled Halwin 1.xx. Double-click that folder. Inside that folder will be a single folder titled Install Disk. Double-click that folder. Click on the Setup icon. That's Setup, not _Setup. This will install the program.

 

Here's another screen shot after your directions...still not there...

 

Setup.exe Second icon from the left in the top row. Double-click it.

 

I get the following message when i double click that icon. Thanks for all your help...

 

You have to unzip or extract the files into another folder first. You should wiki what a zip file is. Its just a compressed file for faster download and email. You have to unzip or extract the file before you can try and run the setup. I'm surprised you have never dealt with a zip file before as they are rather common.

 

Of course i know about zip files...i've done everything at least 4 times before i posted asking for help...

Here's the latiest screen shot. i extracted the file and when i try to run it this is what's showing up.

 

Did you extract just the one file or all the files in the zip file? You need to extract all the files.

 

It's finally loaded...thanks for all your help...
