main differences from hpt to efi live

[macca_779]

I think it's the dumbest things I've ever heard about Can you imagine the logistics behind compiling and sending out specific exe's for each customer. I think we will stick with our system.

They use .msi as their installer. I doubt the .exe is different for each user as I agree that would be pretty stupid.

Perhaps this explains how they do it.

Acording to the WIKI on .msi
Custom Actions

The developer of an installer package may write code to serve their own purpose, delivered in a DLL. This can be executed during the installation sequences, including when the user clicks a button in the user interface, or during the InstallExecuteSequence. Custom Actions typically validate product license keys, or initialise more complex services. Developers should normally provide inverse custom actions for use during uninstallation.

They have a very nice custom OS that would solve many of my issues.

I have been using both in particular the cos for e38 VE table,it works awesome but I am fussy with fueling on my car. You have to populate the VE yourself. Once you use it and set it up its a dream and allows very fast rapid changes to slight mods which can be cleaned up in 1 flash instead of 10. This was beneficial to me. I was not so worried about paying once off for it on my car to learn and also so Fords but on other cars I use EFIlive. The VE table it the only better thing about it so far i can see apart from 15 sec flashes. The structure is much better with efilive.

Hey we are all tuning, right, and thats a good thing!

1.) COS W/EFILIve
2.) TSP no tables w/hpt
3.) More Tables and better logging w EFILive
4.) Customer service: you decide
5.) RR works w/EFILive

Look, the important thing here is we are all tuners. We should share info and learn from each others experience.
Personally I am glad when a HPT user visits the forum here and they are welcomed as long as there is no bashing.
So instead of finding what is different, lets talk about tuning and what help you with you preferred method and how to work together with the similarities.
This is just my oppinion.
