How to d'load $EE.zdf on Windows 8?

I have Windows 8 on my laptop and downloaded TunerPro RT V5. I need to d'load & install the $EE.xdf definition file to install in the program. When I right click on the file a window opens with the choices: Copy Link, Copy Link as, Open link. If I right click either Copy nothing happens. If I right click Open Link the def. list appears. Left clicking any of the choices brings up the programming language jibberish. What am I needing to do? I've been trying to get this done for quite some time but am now out of ideas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to d'load $EE.zdf on Windows 8?

Forgive my fat-fingering the title...should read .xdf there. Anyway, I figured out where I needed to zag when I zigged & am gonna retrace my steps & document them meticulously for future reference. It is MUCH more complicated on Windows 8 but once I document the procedure I, or another member, can work on eliminating some of them if that can be done. I still need to d'load the winflash to import tuning changes to my PCM I do believe. Hopefully THAT won't involve much.

Re: How to d'load $EE.zdf on Windows 8?

Sorry don't have an answer for w/8 .. windows XP right click popup has a ' save link as ' option that opens up the download screen. I do have an alternative source to tunerpro.net . Go to this thread 16188051 and 16181333 PCM Information $EE $EEB scroll down to post #10 , left click on the $EE-16188051-v2.xdf and you should get the 'save as ' popup . By the way I have had problems with the tunerPro.net files, jittery connections, etc. The files from gearhead-efi.com were more reliable.

The list didn't show any -v2.xdf in it bobdec. That is a good source of info. it appears to me so I did register as a member. Thanks for that link. Any idea why I didn't see that version listed when I clicked on the link?

Sorry typo, I'm running $EE-16188051-v3.xdf definitions not v2 . Yes very good site, lots of info, they picked up for the monodax forum that folded late last year.

Re: How to d'load $EE.zdf on Windows 8?

Got both files d'loaded. These look to have more mb's than off the TunerPro site...oh well. Can't wait to hook it up & get a baseline on my red Z28, and see just exactly what's deleted and how it's tuned for the cam. Thanks for your help bobdec.

Re: How to d'load $EE.zdf on Windows 8?

I setup the .xdf file and tried both the 3.2 & 3.8 adx files from the GH list...both seem to work the same. I can't tell what the difference is between them. I get readings on the data list views but it only comes up on the bottom of my screen about 1.5 inches. I gotta scroll up & down to see the list....same with the dash I tried to set up. I can't figure out how to set up a file to record the data I wanna monitor. I'm getting the hang of this slowly but again I'm stumped.
