thereof after installation either by navigating to the \ETKA Loader\ folder from
the Start button or by pressing the "About Loader" button from within the Loader.
You can purchase a key to unlock the full version of the Loader that supports
reading the VIN files from the FGST folder in ETKA 8.2 and features a new parts'
selection mechanism and the extended graphical capabilities by sending a request to
[email protected].

versions of Visual C++.

You can find links to VIN look-up services in the "�������� VIN ������.txt" file.

This release contains the latest updates that were available at the time of
publishing. The base prices and the regional settings are preset for the Russian
market.

Installation.
1. Please delete the old ETKA folder if present.
2. Start the installation process by running "ETKA1.exe" from the \ETKA
International\ folder. Unzip the files into the C:\ drive or any other drive of
your choice. The files should be unzipped into the root directory. Agree to any
offers to overwrite existing files.
3. Depending on the Windows' version installed in your machine run either the
"x64_etka.reg" or the "x86_etka.reg" file from the \�������� ����������\install\
folder.
4. Run the configuration utility C:\ETKA\EtCfg82.exe, select the language (either
RUS or ENG) and confirm ETKA location by pressing the button. This button becomes
available only if ETKA has been correctly unzipped into root directory.
5. Install the Loader from the \ETKA Loader\ folder.
6. Run the "registerControl.bat" and the "registerControl.Net v4.0.bat" files from
the C:\ETKA\Common\Program\RosyVisionControl\3.2.1.1\ folder.
7. Run the "hardlock.exe" file either from the \x32\ or the \x64\ folder depending
on the Windows' version installed in your machine. After that run the
"0000750A.reg" and the "install.cmd" files. No errors should pop up and the driver
should install correctly. Reboot the computer.
Should you encounter the "devcon failed" error, or should ETKA refuse to start, or
should Multikey x64 fail to install please rerun the "install.cmd" file from under
Total Commander with Administrative privileges. Alternatively you can go into
"devcon.exe" properties, click the "������������" tab, tick the "��������� ���
��������� �� ����� ��������������" checkbox, run the "0000750A.reg" file and
finally run the "install.cmd" file as illustrated in
https://i109.fastpic.ru/big/2019/0316/71/4aa80febaefd3c12cb4cd30baad56a71.png.
You should be able to see the Multikey driver being installed.
One of the possible reasons for the Multikey installation failure could be the
presence of an older Multikey instance in the System. You can check this by looking
at the size of the "MultiKey.sys" file in the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ folder.
Delete it if its size is other than 67584 bytes (66 KB). You can do so either by
running the "remove.cmd" file from the \x64\ folder and the "infclean64.exe" file
from the \x64\Old way\infclean05\ folder or by manually deleting the "MultiKey.sys"
file from the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ folder and subsequently copying the
correct "MultiKey.sys" file in there with the correct size of 67584 bytes (66KB).
Should the above methods also fail make sure that neither an antivirus program nor
any other Windows security service including the built-in ones have deleted or
blocked the "Multikey.sys" file.
8. You have an option of using the VIN database by running the "Data Base.exe" file
from the \���� �����\ folder. As always unzip the files into the root of the C:\
drive. If the database contains the VIN you are interested in it will get decoded.

Updating the price lists and the databases for ETKA as well as running the VIN
files from the FGST folder on the hard drive is done via the Loader by algeni
launched from a shortcut. You can find the Loader customisation instructions by
navigating from the Start button to the \ETKA Loader\ folder. The most recent
Loader version and the most current VIN database can be downloaded from
https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=76151933#76151933.

A few recommendations.

1. ETKA is preset to look up VIN files from the hard drive; no need to change
anything in the settings.
2. Set the attributes for new VIN files to "read only" and place those files into
the C:\ETKA\Userdata\FGST\ folder.
3. VIN filtering works only for the cars with the model years marked with a green
dot. Parts' selection for all other cars is based upon the PR-codes from their
decoded VINs.
4. Audi and VW VINs are decodable from 1993 forward; those of Skoda - from 1999
forward and those of Seat - from 1995 forward.
