The Ediabas version that came with the cable didn't work because of a misconfigured install CD, so heads up on that. Other ediabas installs (that aren't so packaged as the installer above) do not include an installer that is XP dependant, so I can't say for sure that ediabas/INPA does not work on Vista, rumors say it does. I installed the above file on the XP virtual machine working in Vista with no issues. This is easy to do (google search "vmware windows xp installation". I had a microsoft VISTA machine (which can't emulate XP natively so the installer above would not work), I used the free download of VMWare Player and an old CD I had of Windows XP Professional to install a XP virtual machine on my Vista laptop computer. This was the easiest install between this and 2 others I tried:
I downloaded version 5.0.2 from here (from russian host), and followed their instructions with the exception of installing the version 5 update in the second installation step (this gives better e46 support). Step 2) get a version of ediabas / INPA: There are several available. This link is critical in explaining these important steps: If you want to work on later model cars you may need to put a switch here. To get this cable to work I had to solder pins 7 and 8 together plus configure the K-line with the dcan tools here: I didn't care if I soldered them because I'm only working on my e46.
my cable was a INPA K + DCAN (Inpa Compatible) cable

After bashing my head against the wall for 2 days I figured out how to get the particular INPA cable I purchased to work with my 2002 325xi.
