Hello, I bought on Ebay a CD with BMW TIS(Technical Information System.) I am having problems installing the program. The instructions sheet says I have to use a program called sysadm to install TIS. Where can I get this program? Has anyone used this program?

Running Vista are you?

no, xp

should be on the disc..........explore the disc and install that first, then you should be ok.

Doesn't seem to work on Vista. $10 wasted and a lot of info I don't have... complete BS.

TIS CD Works if your not running 64-Bit versions of XP or VISTA. It WILL run on VISTA as long as it is not the 64-bit version, you are the administrator or have admin privledges, my understanding is you also have to have a database tools installed (SQL?). Anyways - the one I ran on my VISTA Laptop worked fine. I had to install the Sysadmin first, then go to "TIS" and then click on "Install" - the rest as they say was "HX". It would NOT work, no matter what I did when I tried to run it on my other PC with XP 64-Bit. Hope that helps....

SYSADMIN was in a subfolder on the same CD with the actual TIS. Maybe you got a "knockoff" but the one I received is white with the BMW logo on the upper left side. Says BMW Technical Information System Version January 2005 CD1 of 1. Mine could be a clever knockoff too, but looks pretty official.
