Well believe it or not I had a Ford Windstar come in yesterday with a P0171 and P0174 that still hadn’t had the upper intake and reflash done yet. My Laptop was tied up on another vehicle so after the mechanical work was done I got out the Verus and Pass-Thru-Pro II to do the programming. My version of FMP on the Verus was a few versions back so I fired up the program expecting it to Auto-update, it didn’t. Next I figured I would do it the old way, went to the Control panel, add/delete programs and deleted FMP from the Verus. I downloaded the newest version on the website and started the install, about 10 seconds into the install I got an error message stating that I still had an older version on my Verus. I checked both my C and D folders and even used MS search to look for any file with FMP in it. Three files came up, two with yesterdays date and a dll file dated 2006, so that’s a windows file. I got a hold of tech support that informed me this is a known problem. They had me edit the registry and in about two minutes the program started its install. After it was finished it told me that the 68.00 version I just downloaded wasn’t the newest version and 68.03 was available and it did the update as requested. I would post up how I was told to fix it BUT if the wrong file is deleted in the registry you will have major problems with the Verus. So the point is if you have an issue DON’T spend a lot of time trying to figure it out, call tech support it was fast painless and I can now flash Fords again on the Verus.
