I have downloaded theirs in the past, but wasn't serious about making it work. Don't remember details, but I think the out-of-the-box install didn't work. Do you have instructions as to how to make theirs work?
Nevermind. I wimped out and bought the preloaded hard drive. Fully functional ISTA D/P in ten minutes. No cursing or high blood pressure.
 
I am willing to help others if they can utilize a "clone" of a working Ista / INPA Win 7 64 bit drive. Just send me a PM and we can take it from there. Not looking to make any money here and not looking to start up a drive cloning manufacturing line either. :p

Willing to help pay it forward for the benefit of the group.
That would be great i have been trying for weeks but not getting a decent link with instructions Thanks again if I could grab a link to a clone regards
 
I'm willing, just don't have a landing spot for an 80GB file, if somebody has hosted space or an FTP - I'll do my part.
i can definitely host that VM file for you just give me a bit to create you place to upload it
@dbenkert Sorry to kick an old thread, but did you guys make any progress on this? I've been struggling for a while to find a decent VM with everything working.
 
It's a massive file (80GB if I remember), I could likely shrink it by removing all of the daten files but it would still be quite large. If hosted space becomes available, my stance is unchanged, I'm happy to upload for others.
 
Ok, got the laptop up and I was way off on size Flaco, its 82.5GB compressed and 194GB unpacked - so we're going to need a host with a decent amount of space. But it aggravates me to see those guys on ebay flashing 20 dollar hard drives and making 300% profits on something they don't own and didn't pay for - what a business idea. So I'll do my part to help get this available to the community, it couldn't be easier to use - download a VM client and go, the only tricky part after getting the file for me was configuring the client to properly port USB3.0 ports into the VM environment and I'd even be willing to create instructions on setting up Oracle VirtualBox for those who are less savvy on the software (I've got 5 years infrastructure support and 7 years software config and deployment in the professional side of life).

This is all the software installed:

i always doubt free stuff , even when you think you did it just after couple of weeks dozen of issues happen either to your computer or to the free programm you felt big victory after eventually downloading it first time without paying lol . i did this once 2 years ago i was proud of myself until i realized i messed up big time lol . THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE FIND YOUR LOCAL SELLER PAY HIM 40-50..(DEFO NOT OUTSIDE EUROPE) he does the job for you . easy peasy init
i am in london my guy in stockport manchester . any software i dunno cables i need i text him what i need leave the computer on for him before i go to bed .
in the morning when i wake up BANG everything running on my computer ready to play.
i use forums just to learn stuff i dont knw or possibly share some of my experiences with others .
ALL THE BEST PPL
 
Take a look around the installation folders. I've never seen a valid key that one must enter but 'open' versions of the executable file(s) you simply copy over.
I looked and I think the someone needs to be contacted to get the License. The folder has a Licenserequest.png image that i posted earlier.

You can try putting in a license from a different install. I'll PM you the txt file that has the key I used for a different install.
