    Unhappy HELP PLEASE - problems with 7.4 & SSR

    My customer and I have been patiently waiting for version 7.4 so I can adjust the tire size and gears on an '06 SSR. I was delighted when it came out and seemed to work well. I understand that it's new, and there will be bugs, but somebody PLEASE help us straighten out this problem soon:

    I adjusted the tire size and gears in the tune, and when I go to write it (license it first of course), it says there is no available VIN slot (I have one available). Is this because I purchased the available slot BEFORE I upgraded to v7.4?
    Also, when I pop up the "speedo calculator" and make adjustments, when I close it and re-open it, the adjustments are not there. This happens no matter what I do.

    I will try purchasing another license now that I have upgraded. I really hope that someone can help me soon, we were very disappointed that it didn't work, but it's not a big deal, I am sure it will get sorted out. Thanks in advance for pointing me in the right direction. BTW, I have upgraded the firmware, and already had the latest USB update.

    So far I was not successful at installing version 02 :(
    I already had 7.4, but when I went to unzip 02 it I go an error message.
    I deleted the whole thing and will re-install right now. From what I understand, first you need to download 01, the "apply" 02. Maybe my version of 7.4 is older that 01, and does not support 02.
    Does that make sense?

    The instructions say to install 02 into the V7 folder. When I go to unzip it, this is the exact message I get:

    EFILive_Tune.exe - Unable To Locate Component

    This application has failed to start because obdiiV7.dll was not found. Re-installing the application max fix this problem.


    So I looked around for this "obdiiV7", and found it in the V7 folder, the same place the 02 zip file was, except that was in an extra folder. I decided to remove it from the extra folder and it overwrote the Tune Tool. Is this going to work? Does it sound normal?

    To add to the insanity, I moved the "obdiiV7" into the zip folder for 02 to see if it would allow me to extract. It did. And it turned into the same icon and the same size as the one already outside the folder (2.56 MB Tune Tool). So I am ASSUMING it worked (I successfully applied update 02??)
    I went ahead and registered EFILive again, and checked the firmware and USB driver (both ok).

    IS THERE ANY WAY TO TELL IF I NOW HAVE A WORKING VERSION OF 02 ?????

    I would like to avoid having the customer meet me tomorrow just to fail again. Thanks a lot !

    the 02 exe needs to go into the program files/v7 folder.

    My Tune Tools says "File version: 7.4.1.621"
    Shouldn't it be 7.4.2.621 if I have successfully installed 02?
    What should the correct number be?

    Also, in this version my speedo calc is still acting the same. When I input tire and gear values and click "Apply", am I done or do I have to jump to "Shift Point Correction" and hit "Adjust" (once) like in the old version?

    From what I understand(which is not much btw ) you still have to hit adjust.
    Did you completely remove your previous version of 7.4 before installing the updated 95mb version?
    It all worked fine when I did it.
    The only other thing I can think of is as eboggs eluded to...make sure the update goes to C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7 and NOT C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\EFILive\V7.

    MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
    DUCT TAPE.
    IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
