Getting the same error also.

Looks like only some folders are getting the dates changed (my documents, appdata/local, etc but not appdata/local/temp, c:/programdata, etc).

Is there a way to FDL code using this? I'm able to run e-sys after using the script but unable to FDL code without the freetoken.est java error window

This issue was easy to fix. It was literally just a syntax error in the script. I’ll post my edits to the script when I get back to my computer.


I am still getting the FreeToken.est error when I try to FDL code... but I think this may be because the e-sys and launcher need to be reinstalled.

I think your E-sys version is not supported by the Launcher.

hmm.. this may be the case for some, but it is certainly not the case for me.

Launcher and e-sys were working perfectly with each other until the token expired.

BTW, this is how I fixed the syntax error win 10 users keep getting...

in the .bat replace this:
Code:
if not %PDcr% == %CFGcr% (
with this:
Code:
set v = %PDcr%
set y = %CFGcr%

if v == y (
Note, however, that although I am now able to launch e-sys, I am not be able to FDL code anything because of the token error....

I'm working on an updated version of the script. I discovered a bug in 32-bit OS support in V1.5.0 that might also explain the syntax error some users reported. For some reason I can't replicate that error, so I'm relying on feedback... I've also changed the quick self-check on the results so that it is no longer dependent on the Modified Date of RearmLauncher.cfg.

More to come...

Did you keep your system clock reverted while coding? If so, please keep us posted on your reinstall of the Launcher and E-sys. It may help others.

Thanks, but there is a flaw in your logic. You've deleted the 'not' out of the equation, meaning that E-sys will start only if the script DIDN'T work correctly...

Smile Updated version

And here it is: version 1.5.4! I fixed a bug for 32-bit OS support, changed self-test to no longer be dependent on RearmLauncher.cfg Modified date, and also did some other minor changes to the script. I'm anxious to hear whether the 'syntax error' some people were getting is gone now.....

Cheers,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
Tony.... I L O V E Y O U

The thing is, I'm going to sell the car tomorrow and hand it in to the dealer.
So i where just going to restore some coding that I've done, no big deal.
I tried to start E-sys as usual and it's not working.... WTF...!
So... I let loose my "google-fu" and I found some threads that basically saying I'm f****d.
I started to get nervous...
I did some more google-fu and found this thread.

JACKPOT

Tony... if you where here, I would kiss you!

There is zero reason to restore coding just because car is being sold or traded in at dealer, but if you insist on doing so, E-Sys launcher is not even needed. Reset Coding by VO Coding ECU's direct with E-Sys (no Launcher).

Aah.. ok, thank you for the heads up on the launcher is not needed.
I did not think about that.

The only thing I restored was the "speed limiter removal" for the rear camera.
Due to it requires to be manually turned off every time the car has been in reverse.
Everything else was left "as is"

Thanks for your input, but I'm sorry to say that you're wrong. You're basically renaming my variables and after that your if-statement is not comparing the values of v and y, but the literal strings 'v' and 'y'. 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.

Dear Tony Twoclicks,

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?
