Description: The official application for diagnostics, finding spare parts, contains step-by-step instructions for repairing Volvo cars.
The first folder "Mac OS (Parallels_Desktop)" for users who work in Mac OS, it contains software for the Parallels Desktop virtual machine and a system image with Volvo VIDA 2014D + EWD 2014D installed RUS
The second folder for Windows users Contains VirtualBOX and the same system image for VirtualBOX with Volvo VIDA 2014D + EWD 2014D RUS installed.
Original description from the author of these imagesFrom my experience, the statistics turned out - about 9 out of 10 (or even more) put VIDA for use as a catalog of instructions and spare parts (rarely for diagnostics). Since a certain time, such users, when they contact me - I DO NOT install VIDA on a PC ... but put VirtualBox for them, copy and connect to it a ready file with a virtual machine on Windows 7 Starter, in which VIDA 2014D + EWD are installed and configured 2014D.
Pros:
1. In principle, there are no problems with the compatibility of VIDA with the PC and the OS installed on it. Works on Windows or Linux.
2. No problems for the user with the installation of VIDA - downloaded / installed VirtualBox, connected the ready file with the virtual machine and that's it. Accordingly, there are no conflicts between the VIDA SQL server and the versions / variants of the DBMS already available on the PC.
3. In addition to the installed and configured VIDA 2014D and EWD 2014D, removed / disabled all unnecessary from the OS (by standard means, no tweakers), installed a minimum of necessary programs.
4. Can be carried with you on a USB stick / disk, installation is only needed by the VirtualBox program.
5. I did it myself and for myself - everything works, quickly and without glitches.
Minuses:
1. The file size of the virtual machine is 30GB.
2. Although DiCE works, it is not recommended to use this method (virtual machine) to manipulate the car.
3. By default, there is no anti-malware protection and the standard one is disabled - this virtual machine is not for testing different hats from the Internet and other places. We must understand this and bear in mind.
If someone is interested, write options on how to get a virtual machine file. I think for those who do not install / start VIDA in any way and completely reinstall the OS is not an option - this is the only way. And for lazy people too
