⚠️
Don't open the software yet — finish the preparation steps below first.
3. Before you install
These steps are essential for a clean install and to avoid conflicts caused by your antivirus, an active internet connection, or leftover files from a previous installation:
- Disable your internet connection
- Temporarily disable your antivirus
- Remove any previous version of Delphi / Autocom / Multidiag, including leftover files
- Extract the downloaded archive with WinRAR, into a standard folder (avoid the Desktop or "Program Files")
4. Installing Delphi (example: 2017 R3)
1
Extract the archive
- Extract
CAR 2017 Rev.3 vFiNaL.zip - Copy the
Cars 2017.R3folder to a location of your choice — for example:C:\Delphi\Cars 2017.R3
5. Generating the activation request file
2
- Open the
Cars 2017.R3folder - Run
Main.exe - Delphi starts and shows an activation screen (same process for CARS and TRUCKS)
- Click Next, then Start
- Click Yes to save the file
ℹ️
This creates a file named
FileActivation.xml in the Cars 2017.R3 folder.
6. Activating the software
