Installing Volvo VIDA 2014D on Windows 10: A Step-by-Step Guide

Before installing VIDA, it's essential to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements. Specifically, you need to have .NET Framework 3.5 installed. Depending on your architecture, there are different ways to install this framework (step 17b).

Additionally, we've added a warning for post 16c, which is crucial to note: if you encounter an 'Unhandled Exception' during the Multi-language setup, please refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this guide before proceeding.

To make the installation process smoother, we've also added command line setup for SQL 2008 R2 SP3 upgrade (step 18). Furthermore, we've separated the cleaning section into a separate post, as it was becoming too long and exceeding the character limit per post.

It's also important to note that you cannot install another language after upgrading SQL. This warning is critical, especially if you're using an x86 system. However, for most users running Windows 10, this guide should be sufficient.

We've removed all x86 steps from now on, as this guide is specifically tailored for 64-bit systems (Windows 10 Pro and higher).

To address some common issues, we've added new extra steps (17e-j) to manually change the date in the patch (if you're using the original patch, which no longer works). These additional steps will help make VIDA work with later versions of SQL Server.

For IT professionals, we recommend following the Non-IT Pro guide for more detailed instructions. However, for those who are not tech-savvy, this guide should provide a straightforward and easy-to-follow process to install Volvo VIDA 2014D on Windows 10.

In the future, we plan to release a patch that will simplify the installation process even further. However, due to time constraints, it's uncertain when this patch will be ready for public testing.

This guide has been tested and confirmed to work on various versions of Windows 10, including the Creators Update (build 14313) and May 2019 Update (build 17149).

If you encounter any errors during installation or have issues starting VIDA, please report them to us as soon as possible. Some common problems include:

* 'VIDA cannot start as port 80 is already in use'

* You cannot enter anything in the Username login dialogue

* An X is presented in Internet Explorer where the DICE Communication tool selector should be

By following these steps and troubleshooting tips, you should be able to successfully install Volvo VIDA 2014D on your Windows 10 system.
