Volvo Vida Dice 2014D Error “VIDA NOT OK” Customer Solution

My VOLVO VIDA Dice 2014D had “VIDA NOT OK” during installation. I get the ‘security – ok’, ‘Framework35 – ok, ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message. Then after reboot and run the patch it can’t find ‘VIDA Monitor’.

my laptop specs are:

Dell Latitude D630

4 GB Ram

80GB HDD

OS= Windows XP Pro SP3

core 2 duo 2.0GHz.


With lots of help from forum friends, I’ve actually managed to get my VIDA working!


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)

In the left hand pane left click on ‘SQL Server Services’.

In the right hand pane you need to make sure that ‘SQL server (SQLEXPRESS)’ and ‘SQL Server (VIDA)’ are both set to ‘automatic’.

Then reboot.

Then go back into ‘Add/remove programmes’ and uninstall VIDA only! Do not uninstall anything else. Its about 1.5GB from memory.

Then you must go into ‘My computer’, Local disc (C:\), and delete the folder named VIDA.

Then open ‘program files’ folder and delete the two folders ‘Volvo’ and ‘Volvo cars’.

Reboot.

Then reinstall Volvo VIDA 2014D using the normal ‘all in one’ option. (Be patient), mine took 45 minutes.

Then you should get the VCC Intranet / VCC Internet /Internet options come up. Select Internet and then let it carry on installing.

Reboot and then install the ‘crack’ without changes the field.

Its a dos programme so you will just see a couple of DOS windows open and close.

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.

Now I only hope my Volvo DICE unit still works!

All of the above was done after a unsuccessful installation with the ‘VIDA NOT OK’ message after installing.

How to install Volvo Vida on Windows XP VMWare Player

I can confirm that Volvo VIDA 2011A will work in Windows 7 (Ultimate, BTW). But with the following conditions. You need to run IE8 not 9 (I have found that VIDA just won't go with 9), minimum RAM is 2G. Should be good to go with that; but since MSSQL, which VIDA requires is such a hog, other conflicting apps could create issues. Volvo obviously recommends that a VIDA box be used exclusively for that purpose with no other apps installed. Realistically, I have also installed MS Office, Adobe Acrobat and Lightroom, and some Nikon software without creating a problem.

Actually, running a VM is maybe a good solution to avoid collision with other parts of the installed software. As you know, a VM is like a dedicated computer with nothing else installed on it. Another benefit is to use it on your newish computer which is faster (of course VM will steal some performance but I've noticed no problems with VIDA level software which is not a very demanding software)
VM also adds a little more clunkiness on UI having to swing between 2 windowing/operating systems and deal with assigning the mouse+USB inputs between the 2 operating systems. But its not too bad really. Once inside VIDA, one is staying there to work for awhile.
My setup is a 2008ish Macbook Pro (not fast by today's standards) with VirtualBox Windows XP VM. I run both VIDA DICE and Toyota Techstream (for our Prius) on the VM with no problems. I actually just leave the VM always up and running so its like having my car diagnostic computer available all the time.
This said, VM does require a little more computer skills for setup. Probably about the same skill level to solve interference with other software installs. For someone with less computer skills, it seems a dedicate computer running Win XP is probably the easiest fool proof path.
Here is what I would do: Get VMWare Player (Free http://www.vmware.com/products/player/), which is a virtual machine software. VMWare Player does not allow you to create new virtual machines, just open previously made ones.
Next, find a Windows XP Professional VMWare image. This is more than just an install disk - this is a full already installed image of XP Professional SP3.
Open the XP image with VMWare Player, boot XP in your virtual machine, and install VIDA on that. You need to connect the USB DICE through to the Virtual Machine, see the help/tutorial to learn a little about VMWare player.
The huge advantage of this method is everything dealing with VIDA is completely isolated into that virtual machine. Thus you don't need to worry about what else you have installed that will mess up vida, viruses hidden in any of the SW you've acquired, etc. The only thing you are installing on your main PC is VMWare Player, which is very trustworthy.
You can even enter full-screen mode, which will make it seem like you are running the real XP.
The whole process should be very painless & simple, the only thing you are missing right now is a VMWare Image of XP Professional. If you want you can try installing XP from the installation disk you already have using VMWare Player, which requires a bit more work, see e.g.:http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2005/10/26/vmware-player-windows-xp.html .
-Colin
PS: VMWare Workstation (basically full version of player) is excellent SW, I've used it for many years now in a variety of environments. So I would have no hesitation using the player edition, but I honestly haven't tested the above with VMWare Player only. The Microsoft VM that comes with Windows 7 is a joke by comparison.

2 Ways to Install Volvo VIDA 2014D on Window 10

VIDA is a catalog of parts with a variety of instructions and manuals. Also, diagnostics, maintenance and adjustment of some parameters will be available using DiCE .
Below is a small example of working with VIDA 2014D and Volvo DiCE , and also described TWO ways of installing TWO variants (original and repack) of VIDA on Windows 10 (also installed on Windows 8.1). Additionally, added options for solving common problems with / after installation and some useful settings.
(The document was translated from Russian forum)
Volvo VIDA 2014D is the last (not the last) file version of VIDA available locally, i.e. installed and running on a separate PC. Accordingly, available to a simple user.
Since the beginning of 2015, the program is only online!

Temporary workplace is ready.
Example of using VIDA + DiCE – diagnostics and error removal

Start, enter 4 to enter the EUR region.

The window with the expanded information by mistake and recommendations on elimination.

The existing error is nothing more than the LED license plate lights that I have installed. So, while these lamps are standing – there will be a fault, it does not lead to the device and it makes no sense to erase at the moment.

How to install Volvo VIDA 2014D on a PC with Windows 8.1 / 10 Pro / Core x86 / x64
-This instruction for installing VIDA 2014D from an .iso image (or from a folder) on a PC with Windows 10x86-x64 of all versions and versions (as of 08.10.2016). Suitable for Windows 8 of all versions and versions.
In Windows 7, install the usual way – run \ Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Main \ setup.exe
-If you have an image without the Russian language (and it is needed) – unpack the image by any archiver into a folder (for example VIDA2014D), download the archive at the end of the post , create the folder ru-RU in VIDA2014D \ DB , put the downloaded archive servicerep_ru-RU.zip into it , you can start the installation.
-If the PC has 2GB of RAM, 20GB of hard disk space (3GB and 30GB for 2014D) and less, you need to unpack the image and make the appropriate changes to the file \ VIDA2014D \ Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Compinfo.ini , in the lines Win7MinValue = write 512 , in Win7 Recommend = write 5,000,000 (or erase one digit at the end), save.
-If the PC is shaken by unsuccessful attempts to install different versions of VIDA – it is necessary to prepare for the new installation, clean up the OS (uninstall the components VIDA, SQL, remove the remaining folders, remove the remaining keys in the registry).

Method 1

1 . Preparation.
There is nothing to install additionally, except as specified in this manual. Also, there is NO need to disable / stop any of the default components in Windows 10 (defender, firewall, etc.).
a ) Install the .NET Framework 3.5 from:
– Control Panel – Programs and Features – Turn Windows features on or off
In the Windows Components window , note .NET Framework 3.5 , then OK , the .NET Framework 3.5will be loaded and installed , you may need to restart. If already installed, go to the next step.
b) Insert the image into the virtual drive (in Windows 10 it is present by default) by double clicking on VIDA2014D.iso .
Open the explorer folder with the image.
c ) Run cmd from the administrator from the open folder with the image VIDA2014D:
– File – Open the command line – Open the command line as an administrator
Before finishing the installation DO NOT close the cmd window , we need it twice.
volvo-vida-dice-win10-11
2 . Install and configure Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 .
Copy / paste into the cmd window and press Enter :
“3PP \ Products \ SqlExpress \ SQLEXPR_x86_ENU.exe” / ACTION = Install / IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS / ROLE = AllFeatures_WithDefaults / INSTANCENAME = VIDA / SAPWD = GunnarS3g3 / SECURITYMODE = SQL / SQLSVCACCOUNT = “NT AUTHORITY \ SYSTEM” / BROWSERSVCSTARTUPTYPE = Automatic / TCPENABLED = 1 / HIDECONSOLE / ENU / QS
Wait until the installation is complete. You can check the correctness of the previous installation in:
– Start – All applications – Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 – SQL Server Installation Center – Tools – Installed SQL Server features discovery report
The default browser with the report will open. Look – there are two lines in the table (at the end of No, it should be), close the SQL Server Installation Center .
volvo-vida-dice-win10-12
3 . Installation of VIDA 2014D .
Copy / paste OBE lines to the cmd window and press Enter :
set __compat_layer = WIN7RTM
“Install \ DVD \ Vida_dvdheader \ Main \ setup.exe”
Select VIDA All-in-one .
Choose only ONE language (install TWO languages ​​and switch them you can – see Method 2 ).
Accept the license agreement.
Choose the installation path. It is recommended to leave it as default.
Installation takes a long time. You can control in the Task Manager by the activity of the alba process . At the end of the installation, icons appear on the desktop.
Select in the pop-up window Internet , then Save , then Close , and again Close .
Refuse to reboot.
Close the cmd window .
4 . Treatment and first run.
Run 2014A-BD.exe from the administrator. If you changed the default VIDA installation path, change only the LETTER drive in the opened window (if you installed it to the root of another disk / partition). Select Install , VIDA Monitor should start after that , after some time its icon in the tray should have a green arrow instead of a yellow arrow.
In the pop-up window of the regular firewall, select Allow access for Java.
Start VIDA with the VIDA All-in-One icon on the desktop (or in the Start menu, or right-click on the VIDA Monitor icon in the tray).
If Internet Explorer prompts you to select and enable add-ins, enable it.
Enter in the fieldUsername : 4 for Europe region (others – 1, 2, 3).
Wait for IsoView to load .
Click the Vehicle Profile tab , enter the VIN code. There should be a car. If Write Access is denied – check and enter the VIN code manually (NOT through copy / paste).
Disable VIDA eUpdate in the Task Manager on the Startup tab , the Java ™ Platform SE binary line .
You can also disable VIDA Monitor from startup and run it as needed from the shortcut to Start – VIDA .
Adobe Reader XI, which was installed with VIDA, can be deleted (if you use another application for pdf or not needed).
Done, you can use.
* If the server does not start – after a while on the icon appears red “?”, The fault is the update KB3163018or 1607 AU . Download the archive with the folder jdk , unload VIDA Monitor, delete the folder jdk from C: \ VIDA , unpack downloaded to C: \ VIDA , then reboot the PC. Archive with the necessary, to solve this problem, you can download at the end of the post.
* If the Username field is NOT active– the tablet did not work, apply again (after unloading the VIDA Monitor ) carefully following all the conditions, then restart the PC. Another option is to unpack the contents of 2014A-BD.exe into C: \ VIDA by agreeing to the replacement. Start from the administrator C: \ VIDA \ patch \ filldb.cmd (previously unloading the VIDA Monitor ).

Method 2 (recommended)

– At the bottom of the post there is a link to the resource where you can download the ready version with the adaptation to the extreme update of Windows 10 and the ability to use two languages ​​- Russian and English. Contains an easy way to install with cmd files (nothing needs to be entered manually). Everything necessary for installation and normal operation on Windows 10 is already in the image.
Correction of the “cross” in the field “Communication tool”
If after starting, in the field “Communication tool” – a cross , you must run the reg.file from \ Install \ Utilson the image / disk with VIDA EnableIEHostingx86.reg or EnableIEHostingx64.reg (for x64 OS).
Done.
IE must be closed! Archive with the necessary files, to solve this problem, you can download at the end of the post.
