If you get a message of "Can't Open Codes File: CODES.DAT", the issue can happen for different reasons:
- security settings on your computer is not giving the VCDS software read/write permission
- hyperactive virus scanner
- CIA mind control penetrating the foil cap
Delete the default install of VCDS which is found on here on your hard drive:
C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS
Deleting the Ross-Tech folder will remove the software. Now run the VCDS installer again, when you get to the Choose Install Location screen, click on the [Browse] button:
Browse to your Documents type folder, select the folder and then click [OK]:
You will now see the new install location of VCDS:
Click on [Install] to continue.
