Why cant i get ECUFlash running?
There may be something im missing but i downloaded the program and it just will not run. Im sure others are having the same problem are are afraid to ask because theres a high risk of serious flaming. I also read over the tutorial and such but found nothing. Is there a specific program that it needs to be opened with?

Thank you and again i apologise if its something stupid.

Oh, your missing the compression tool.. If its a .RAR file, you need Winrar, if its ZIP, you need winzip..

The installer is running? Or just after you download it from the web?

Also, what is the name of the file your trying to run.

yep download a copy of WinRAR (go to www.download.com and search for it) Install winrar, and then it will open that RAR file, from there you will get an explorer like interface, you can run the setup program (Its an EXE) file from there.

Well, you don't _have_ to have winrar. That are many, many other compression utilities that understand r-archives.
