I spent pretty much the entire workday and evening at home yesterday learning what GT1\DIS is,
obtaining it, and then figuring out how to install it. It was no easy feat, as I have no access to
bmwecu.org, where most of the information seems to be hidden (according to the few bits and pieces
of information I could obtain). So I've put the steps I found necessary to install EasyDIS v.44. Credit to
bmwecu.org who apparently developed this easy install.

Software Required:
o Easy DIS v.44 BASE iso
o Easy DIS v.44 Program iso
o VMware v.6
o Daemon Tools

NOTE: Follow every direction exactly. When I say to use Daemon Tools, use Daemon Tools. I
had some complications when I burned the ISOs to CD, and could not activate the Programs
disc. I cannot help you with the instructions or install of GT1, this article is the help I have
provided. -Randomy

Install VMWare Workstation version 6 using default parameters during setup

Open VMWare and create a new Virtual Machine:

Select Typical

Select Other Other

Name the VM

Select Host Only networking

Enter size of disk as 18.635, and allocate all disk space now

Click Finish and have a smoke while it create the Virtual Disk

The Virtual Machine is created

We need to make some changes. First Remove the Sound Adpater

Adjust Ethernet adapter to use VMnet1

Switch to the options tab, and uncheck drag and drop from Guest Isolation

Mount EasyDIS-base-44-v1.0 in Daemon Tools

Edit the CD drive of your Virtual Machine to use the Daemon Tools drive (F: in this case)

Start the virtual machine and quickly press F2 to enter the BIOS for it

Set the CD-Rom to be the first boot device

Save and exit the BIOS.

The computer will reboot.
The installation of GT1 begins.

The installation ends and you are notifed to eject the CD, and restart the VM, but do not do
that yet!!:

Eject the iso from Daemon Tools

Mount the file GT1_v44_programs in Daemon Tools

Now Shut-Off the Virtual Machine, and Restart it

Return to the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the boot order back to default

Save and Exit, and the VM will boot up

The following screen will appear, select your language and Vehicle, press the green arrow to
continue

Select your Country, and Enter 12345 for Dealer Number. The rest of the info you can make-up
Once you have entered the required information, click End > Quit

DIS appears!!

Click Administration and note that the CD drive shows DIS v44.00. If it doesnt, you may need
to try and mount the file GT1_v44_programs from Daemon Tools again

Press Installation under DIS, and enter 12345 (dealer number) as password

Now you wait for a long time

The installation will complete, press OK
