Vehicle Specs Installation Instructions
VAG (Portal Install)
This document outlines the installation process for Pro32 specifications, specifically the VAG
release portal version to be downloaded in the field as a self-extracting ZIP file.
After downloading the self-extracting ZIP file from the portal, and copying to the aligner, doubleclick the self-extracting EXE file. See example below.

This will open the file to begin the extraction process. Press the “Setup” button and the dialog
will show the unzip progress.

After the ZIP extracts, it will automatically start the Pro32 installer. Select the setup language in
the first screen of the installer process and press Next to continue.

The installer prepares the installation process. Press “Next” when prompted.

Select the default location for the database to be installed, unless the user knows it needs to go
to a specific location.

The installer continues with a screen displaying information. Select “Next” when requested.

The installer is ready to begin the installation. Select “Install”.

The installer provides a progress bar as the installation is performed.

Select “Finish” after the installer completes the install and requests to do so.

The installer requests to restart the PC. Leave the selection to “Yes” and press “Finish”.

After the PC restarts, the user can confirm the database version at 2 places: at the Vehicle
Selection page, and using the “About” button on the Home page toolbar. See examples below.
