Help with Gen V Service Manual

[steve911]

Hi all

I recently rediscovered my OEM 2013 Service Manual CD.

I went to use it and discovered that you must use Internet Explorer (IE) to use the CD.

Well, I dont have IE on my computer anymore and I am looking for a work around. Anyone have an idea?

Hi, Steve:

I know IE can be found made functional...try this (though I have not had to yet):

Use Internet Explorer in Windows 10 - Microsoft Support

Internet Explorer 11 support ended on June 15, 2022. We recommend you use Microsoft Edge for a faster, more secure and more modern web browsing experience.

So far, my Viper CD's still work on my old computer running Vista...which is why I still keep it around.

Good luck,

Steve

By the way, Steve...if you are "up a tree" on something relatively simple, tell me the year, I can fire up that old Vista, and take a screen shot for you. Just a thought.

@steve911 can you image the CD and I will take a look at it.

If it requires IE then it means it's a set of HTML pages and any browser should open. After you insert the CD, go to your browser (chrome, edge, whatever) and select File->Open and navigate to the CD. I bet there's some kind of an index.html or some other file you can open manually to navigate.

^^^^ anything that supports HTML should open it. It may have been associated to IE but any browser "should" open it.

Steve,

If you don’t have any luck securing a version of Internet explorer, that will allow you to use the CD, let me know. I found a cyber engineer locally that was able to unlock my GEN three and GEN four service manuals and put them onto a flash drive as a PDF. It’s not a printed copy but it at least is something that you can use. You would need to send me your CD of course as I do not presently have a GEN five.
