'''STAR C3/Xentry on Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista'''
BenzWorld Member, junior_vw, has installed the STAR C3/Xentry software without the use of a Windows XP box. He used Windows 8 compatibility mode for Windows XP sp3, with elevated privileges.
The instructions are:
* Step 1: Create a restore point.
* Step 2: Plug in external Hard Drive.
* Step 3: right click on VMware v5 installer click options, pick compatibility. Choose Windows XP (SP3).
* Step 4: Install VMware v5.
* Step 5: Right click on VMware v5 icon, set compatibility to Win XP SP3. Run as admin.
* Step 6: Run Vmware v5.
* Step 7: Pick Run Existing.
* Step 8: Choose DAS from drive.
* Step 9: Don’t upgrade VMware, but do install VMWare Tools.
* Step 10: Enter Password from HDD.
* Step 11: Enjoy.
However, if you need to run it on the Windows Vista or Windows 7 OS you will need to first disable the User Account Control (UAC) settings (Note try without doing this first as it compromises the pc security) and any anti-virus software you may be running.

Be Warned. You need to have considerable technical ability to make use of the following.

Once installed the STAR WIS (Workshop Information System) and EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog) software runs in a virtual WinXP environment via VMware Player which allows it to be used on just about any PC. It needs a data connection to access the on-line versions of the EPC and WIS.

BenzWorld Member, BestBalbes, prepared a VM with WIS (07/2013) and EPC (01/2013). The rar-archive file is 25Gb,and when expanded the Virtual Machine file is 40Gb.
