Start with an XP Pro, service pack 3 installation which can be on its own laptop or
in as an install on a virtual machine also on a latop. It can work installed on a virtual
machine.
You do not need to run an updates to XP, in fact it's probably best that you don't.
What ever internet access this machine or vitual machine had, disable it now. If the
machine ever gets on the internet, the JLR software will stop working. (So you don't need
pesky security updates, you won't be accessing anything other than the Jag with it)
There are 10 rar files,
JLR IDS-SDD.part01.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part02.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part03.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part04.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part05.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part06.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part07.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part08.rar
JLR IDS-SDD.part09.rar
Download them all and place them all in one directory, they are a spanned archive
not standalone ones. Then use an unrar tool to unrar JLR IDS-SDD.part01.rar.
The files are linked so provided you are using the right tool, it will then unrar
the set to a directory called:
JLR IDS-SDD
In this directory you will find 6 files that can be installed.
They start with numbers 1,2,3,4,5 &6.
It's as easy as following that order, but:
File 1. This takes something like an hour and a half, in the middle of which
it installs .net 3.0 which will show no progress but completes its bit in 10
to 20 minutes. It hasn't crashed, be patient. Once complete you will be asked if
you want to restart. You don't need to. It will ask if you want to set ActiveCGM
as the default tiff file viewer. I recommend saying yes.
File 2. This is an update that takes 20 minutes or so to install, and will also
ask for a reboot which you don't need to do.
File 3. This claims to want to install some bits in the backround while you can
carry on. In fact this will run for around 3 hours. I suggest you set it running
and leave it till it's done. You will see no progress from this install and it
will not even take focus but take between 60 and 90% of CPU.
File 4. I started this after a restart as I shut the machine down afte file 3.
This file took around 20 minutes.
File 5. This is the driver for the Mangoose/mongoose. Run this, it takes 5 minutes
then reboot and plug it in, it will then find the drivers and install itself.
File 6. This takes 15 or so minutes. Reboot and your good to go.
Note: When you run the software it will ask for internet access. Don't give in!
