I've tried using your script 1.5.4 with esys 3.31 and launcher 2.7.1 dated back to april 2nd 2017. I'm getting the date manipulation error. Tried uninstalling it, reinstalling it with the back dated, same. Tried uninstalling it and running your script and reinstalling esys and launcher, same error.

Thank you for your hack! I am able to get past the date manipulation error but when coding I get an error regarding the generated token. Specifically, the error says it has encountered an error while processing the EST file. Details say: "EstCmException: Condition Not Correct. General Error".

I am using E-sys 3.27.1 and launcher 2.7.1.135. I set the date to September 1 2017.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Other people have reported this. I can only think of two things:
1. Did you keep your clock reverted all the time while coding?
2. Does E-sys 3.27 support your pdszdata version?

Other than that, I don't have a clue.


Update:
Oh, and one more thing, I noticed that some people are used to entering the path to the token-file in E-sys' settings. I don't think this is necessary as the Launcher takes care of this internally. However, if you've ever entered a path in E-sys, make sure it's still correct and not pointing to some old .est token file you made years ago...

Talking Updated version

And yet another update: version 1.5.5 is out! Added RSA-key deletion again as it turned out to be a necessary step. Thanks to jkwhar for testing.

For people that reported a token error during coding in E-sys it might be worthwhile to try this version too, as it's possible the 'revived' Launcher made use of old RSA-keys for the token.

Cheers,

Hi Tony,

1. Yes. Kept it behind all the time
2. And yes. I am using V63. I even reverted back to 3.26 and tried that. But same problem.

And in terms of the path to token, I never touched anything.

I also just tried your new version and the problem persists.

I will subscribe to the thread and monitor it closely. Hopefully a solution will come up. Thanks for your help

The result will always be false, making the script proceed to the 'locked folder'-error. I've tested it, it doesn't work (nor should it). Anyhow, the changes I made in V1.5.4 could have possibly solved the mysterious 'syntax error' so let's wait and see... If not, we'll zoom in on it further to try and tackle that baby.




This is interesting, because I don't have and never had a BMW-folder in C:\ProgramData. Could that be from another program you've installed?
Step 3 is already taken care of by my script, as well as for the Tokenmaster-folder in C:\ProgramData.

My gut tells me that it's probably step 1 that made it work for you in the end, but who knows...

In testing, I never had to reinstall E-sys or the Launcher. Just adjusting the clock and running the script was enough to reset everything.
About the syntax thing... sorry for wasting your time on that lol. As you can tell, I have no experience making batch files...

About the BMW folder... well I had one and deleted it, which may not have done anything. I have no idea which of my steps were necessary, but after doing them, I can code my car again.

It is definitely not just step 1) that made it work btw. I uninstalled and reinstalled a handful of times trying to get the token error fixed without luck. Your script only started to work after I deleted those folders and then reinstalled everything.

Anyway, your script was greatly appreciated! Thank you for making it.

Since you're using pdszdata V63, I'd say try E-sys 3.28.1 instead of 3.26. Use Launcher 2.7.1. See if that works....

Here are some more tips for the token error.

Also, don't use E-sys version 3.29 or higher. Tokenmaster didn't offer support for that in his last E-sys Launcher Premium 2.7.1.

If that doesn't work, you can also open a command prompt and try:
rd "%UserProfile%\Esys" /s

If that command helps, I'll add it to my script again in the next version.

Finally, if there is a BMW folder in C:\ProgramData (make sure hidden files and folders are shown), you could try to rename it to something like BMW.old and see if that works...

Please post some feedback if any of these steps worked for you (and if so, which one), so I can update the script!

Well, some people get a token error when trying to FDL code, so there's still some debate on that. In testing, I could install E-sys now, turn back the clock, and run the script to make it work.

No, there are other threads dealing with coding software and where to get it. Do a search or find it on Google.

Still no luck getting past the date manipulation date. I've uninstalled Esys and Launcher premium and removed the psdzdata folder. Then reinstalled everything and ran your tool. Still can't get past the date manipulation. What would happen if I just ran ESYS without the tokenmaster launcher tool?

I tried emailing Tokenmaster to just donate for the Pro but he's been pretty slow to reply.

You can run E-sys without Launcher, but then you need a valid token to do FDL coding. VO coding works though.

What date and Launcher version are you using? Did my script run without errors?

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm running the 2.6.2 with psdzdata 63.
Yeah me too - its error C157?
