Hi,
I am trying to install INPA on a Windows 8.0 laptop.
I used a fresh install of Windows and the only other software installed is Firefox browser and AVG anti-virus (which was disabled during the install)
I followed the instructions detailed in the Bimmerforums diagnostic thread "https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/...tions-Experiences-Discussions-Experimentation".
I have purchased these cables :

"https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12642691...H8E2Y6&hash=item1d6fa1aa3b:g:e0oAAOSwL8ZmGPOD"
The USB driver for the cable seemed to load correctly and everything else went fine until the “Part 3 LoadData.exe” completed however when the pop-up screen came up showing the result this showed two warning messages:

Does anyone have any advice as to how to proceed?
I haven't tried to run INPA yet or connect to my car yet - I don't want to risk causing any issues with the car electronics.
Any help/guidance would be appreciated.

I don't know anything about the specific warning items.

INPA has both read and control functions. The control functions are in the "Activate" menus. As long as you don't "activate" anything, you are good to run INPA and see if it works as it will only be reading data from the car..
