Advice by www.chinaobd2.com engineer: Did you also install all the VCRedist for x32? If not, open “VC Redist Links” document and install everything x32. If there was a log generated, it would be in ~:\Rheingold\Logs. Check and see if you can find anything off. Use Notepad++ to view the logs.

Also reinstall all the pre-requisites again (.NET, VS90, VC Redist) and see if that fixes it.

Logs generated:

Brand new windows 10 64bit install, followed install pdf, all the vc redists, had to add mscomctl.ocx to the install to enable bmw coding tools.

ista+ is a fail to start, here’s what the log shows:

Solution:

Got it, one of my x86 vcredist icons looked weird I think it was corrupted I deleted it and redownloaded it now it works. On to ista-p.
