Error message: The Flashscan V2 interface is not compatible with this version of EFILive software. Please upgrade your efilive software to the latest version.

Get that, did the below, and still get that. WTF is going on?


Update your FlashScan V2 Firmware
If you are using FlashScan V2, please run the FlashScan V2 firmware programmer to update your FlashScan V2 device with the latest firmware.
Select the Windows Start menu->All Programs->EFILive V7->Update FlashScan V2 Firmware.
The firmware included with this release is version V2.04.55 and can be found here: \Program Files\EFILive\V7\FSProg_V2_4_55.ffw

Version 7.4 MUST have the .55 firmware on the FlashScan V2.

Here is a link to an interactive tutorial to update the firmware: http://download2.efilive.com/Tutoria...20Firmware.htm

Like it mentions the firmware file is in your 'CL\Program Files\EFILive\V7' folder by default.

Yea, that is exactly what I did. That part goes through just fine. But it still does not work.

[Tordne]

So the firmware on the FlashScan V2 is .55?

Confirm by powering up the V2 and pressing F4 - F1 - F1 on the keys, then scroll down to see the firmware version.

What is the build of the Tune Tool?
- Open Tune Tool
- Go to 'Help->About...' menu option

Well it works on my XP computer but not the win98 computer. Correct usb driver has been installed.

Wiped everything out last night including drivers. Did everything again and still no dive on the 98 computer (which is the shop computer).

[Tordne]

Are these the drivers you used (the 98 ME ones)? http://www.efilive.com/download.aspx#downloads4

Of course.

[Tordne]

Hmm.. I don't have Win98 so I can't test :sad:

I'll email Paul about it...

Anyone else got this working OK on Win98?

Tried it tonight on a dual boot system running XP & 98. Started by upgrading flashscan to 7.4. No problem. Plugged in V2 and got the hardware wizard,directed it to the 98 drivers folder. Got an error could not locate FTD2XX.cat. Skipped this file,the rest of the driver install went ok. Started up the tune tool and clicked on the connect button and got the Error message: The Flashscan V2 interface is not compatible with this version of EFILive software. Please upgrade your efilive software to the latest version.
Cleared this error box,V2 seemed to be connected ok,USB mode on the screen. Clicked on the Flashscan V2 control panel icon,the control panel opened up, I pressed the test button and it seemed ok. I also opened up the VIN licensing box in the tune tool and it read all the info from my V2 with no problem either. I could not connect it to a vehicle though as this was a desktop.
