Follow the instructions stage by stage, completing one stage before
moving onto the next stage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you installing on a MAC read MAC Instruction in a separate file as it explains
how the Mac instructions are different to the Windows instructions below
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 1: DOWNLOAD LINKS FOR THE FILES
All the files must be downloaded to one folder on the hard drive
You should check the email you got for the links to the files. Download them ALL.
Stage 2: EXTRACTING THE DOWNLOAD FILES
Only use 7zip for the extraction, do not use WinZip or WinRAR. 7Zip can be download from
here, choose 32bit or 64bit depending on the Windows version you have.
7Zip download
STAGE 2A: HOW TO EXTRACT THE DOWNLOADED FILES.
Right click on the 001 file and select “Extract here” or “extract to”, do not select all the files.
You are wasting your time if you try to extract any of the other files, all the extraction is
handled by the 001 file.
If the extraction will not work reply to this message with a screen grab of the Windows
folder that contains all the downloaded files, making sure that file extensions, file sizes and
full file name are shown. Do not send any pictures via eBay as they will be unreadable.
When the extraction is complete, you should see a file named “MERCEDES.vdi”.
STAGE 3: INSTALLING VIRTUAL BOX
To install Virtual Box, run the VirtualBox exe file which you have just extracted
When you install Virtual box must be installed as an administrator, Right-click Virtualbox and
choose "run as administrator”
STAGE 4: FINAL STAGE
Now left click the file called “MERCEDES.vbox” Virtual Box will now open.
If you use any other method of loading WIS into Virtual box other the then method above
WIS will not work.
Do not change the operating system of the virtual machine from Windows 7, if you do then
the virtual machine will fail to work. Virtual box has to know the operating system of the
virtual machine not your operating system
Select the Mercedes clone from the left hand pane
Go to settings and then system option.
Motherboard tab select how much ram you want to allocate to the Virtual machine. Do not
allocate all your computer's ram to the virtual machine. So if your computer has 2048mbs of
ram, do not tell the virtual machine to use 2048mbs, it will not work. For the virtual machine
to work you must allocate at least 1495mbs of ram
Next start the Mercedes virtual machine
Username is Adminand the password is 12345 for the
Mercedes WIS shortcut on the virtual desktop.
DO NOT let the virtual Windows update Java as the updated Java will
prevent WIS from working.
IF YOU DO NOT SEE 3 ICONS AFTER LOGGING INTO WIS
The license/startup key is linked to the address of the network card for the
virtual machine and if you do not use the correct method of loading
Mercedes WIS into Virtual Box then the link is broken and the program will
never work
Solution
Remove the current Mercedes virtual machine from Virtual Box (delete the
files when asked), extract the download files again, you do not need to
download the files again. Follow this part of the instructions.
Now left click the file called “MERCEDES04.vbox” to start the virtual
machine. Virtual Box will now open.
