W203 Star Service 32 bit DVD running in 64 bit Windows 10 Home? Yes!!
Is there anyone out there wondering how to get their 32 bit W203 Star Service DVD
working in 64 bit windows? There was a workaround download from Mercedes at one point,
but no more and it never worked on the W203 DVD although it did work on our W164 DVD.
I got this running in a Windows 7 32 bit VM on Hyper V running on Windows 10 Home. Yes, HOME not pro.
I need to try to remember everything I did to make it work!!?
I could do a write up but does anyone give a crap?
Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about?
PS. Getting ready to finally do my head gasket repair, so that was my motivation to get this thing working!
I tried XP 1st but but couldn't share anything to the host system. Windows 7 loaded old version of cutepdf,
and able to print from the host (windows 10) . I celebrated with a cocktail. Spent a couple days tweaking on this one!
Lots of info on the internet, but not all of it accurate! So really need the Mercedes version of things.
And now I have it....again.

Don't go to any trouble just for me, but I would be interested in seeing how you did this. Another board member and I share a multiplexer, but I'm using a very old IBM Think Pad and the ability to use a more modern system is appealing to me.
