[pbgbottle]

getting info that people can't get the U.S. A1 disc's to work can anybody verify that the U.S. disc's work's maybe corrupt

[pbgbottle]

still seeding this, anybody from here still downloading it .??

[davisdrafting]

I installed the v.95 from Yankee.com, It worked one day and now it says “Execute the set up” so I reinstalled A1 & A2 from CD.
Then a full reinstall, same thing.

Any ideas?

[davisdrafting]

Could someone with a working version of the 95EPC email these files
to my spam email account i555007@yahoo.com and name it EPC

Files are: GCDROM.SYS
and all contents of: TMCTMPW1

[pbgbottle]

this folder TMCTMPW1 is usually empty just a temp folder , did you run some kind of cleanup utility on your computer .cause that will sometimes break the epc program . and you might check your add remove programs to see how many times the epc is installed .and remove them all .and start fresh .i have had this problem before ,just uninstalled everything and started over .

TMCTMPW1 is only empty upon install after setup it has files in it.



I finally got it to work, I reinstalled for the 10th time then opened up TMCEPCW1 right click on GCDROM.EXE, properties, compatibility tab, change compatibility mode to win95, apply, start program, install CD’s to C:,
exit program, change compatibility mode back to winXP, start program, install CD’s to D:

I have no clue why this works but after three days of screwing with the EPC it’s the only way I’ve found that it does.


P.S. here is a link to the A440F.pdf service manual http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/.../Transmission/

Jake,
I got the US data to work. Seems OK to me. I've been using it the past week to get numbers for my 99 Tacoma. I had the dealer look up about 20 numbers, and they were all still good numbers.

The info for all the US model 4x4's seems to be covered. (*J40's & 55's only back to '69, though).

I also managed to combine a bunch of the data files from the 00-03 EU/Jap EPC covering models that were that I guess were dropped from the full 04 version. Everything seems to be working fine.

I still havent burned the discs though. I guess my burner is too old to handle any blanks over 4X.. :(
Looking for a cheap DVD burner so I can get them burned...LOL

Man, it was so quick and easy walking in and having him just look up the numbers I had.
Too bad he only had 2 in stock, and the prices were high on everything...LOL

[pbgbottle]

great to here ,i was wondering if anybody was still playng with it . all disc's work for me .

[Overlord]

I just came across with this thread recently & I wanted to have a copy of the EPC. I need seed!!!!

[Cracker]

Hey Jake,

I know I posted before that the US CD's were working for me, but I recently found out that some vehicle models DO NOT work.

Unfortunately, one of them is the 84-89 Pickup/4Runner. :O

I finally figured out that when you do a model search, the second row in (labeled "catalog"), seems to be a specific number assigned to each model. Makes sense I guess...

Well, when I go through the TMCMSTW2, U1 and U2 folder, there are catalog numbers missing. These are the .MST files, which coincide with each models' "catalog" number.

Then, I checked the .iso CD images, and they are missing there also.

Can you post up the unpacked size of both the A & A2 CDs?

This will probably bug me so much, I will crosscheck the complete model/catalog list shown in the EPC program itself, vs the U1 & U2 folders, just to get a list of all the missing .MSTs.

Thanx!

[Cracker]

Well, it looks like I have 12 catalog numbers/.MST files missing from just the A2 disk.

I'll edit and post up a list of exactly which ones in a bit.

Maybe some one could check their TMCMSTW2/U2 folder and see if they are missing the same.

I have 71 .MSTs in the U1 folder, and only 27 in the U2. That makes 98...There are 110 catalog numbers listed in the EPC program itself.
I also checked the A1 & A2 .ISOs...same thing.

[pbgbottle]

heres the info from my stuff ,i didn't no the exact source for the copy's of the U.S. disc's they could very well be corrupt , the U.S. disc's where tuff to find . i have 73 in U1 and 28 in U2 ,if i counted it correctly see the iso sizes below

[pbgbottle]

and the MST files

[pbgbottle]

also i get an error when looking up the U.S. 87/08-90/01 FJ62

[pbgbottle]

the U.S. disc's where the only disc's that i couldn't actually get my hands on to create the ISO's ,these ISO's where downloaded from the internet . guess i am going to have to hunt for some new disc's

[pbgbottle]

these U.S. disc's are tuff to get here because the dealers here don't use this EPC anymore. they use a newer more advanced one linked to a central server ,(or something like that ) made by proquest . you can still get U.S. disc's tho somewhere ,maybe buy them here

http://www.alljapanesecars.com/cdstorem.php3?mk=Toyota

i might have to start searching around again

[Cracker]

Well, the unpacked size on my .iso's matches both of yours to the exact byte.

=also i get an error when looking up the U.S. 87/08-90/01 FJ62

Yup! that is one of the missing .MST files. (GC791430.MST)
That one and the 84-89 pickup/4runner are the two why I thought I would mention this and try to figure it out, since those seem like they would be most popular for peeps here to be using.

yeah, I figured it was somrthing like the US versions would be hearder to find for some reason. i didnt think there was any discrepancy between what I downloaded and the .iso's would have.

Here's a list of the missing US .MST's (seem to be only missing from A2 disc):

GC141430 Tercel EL31 89-90
GC151420 Corolla AE92,95 88-92 (made in Jap)
GC153420 Corolla AE92 88-91 (Coupe)
GC155420 Corolla AE92 88-92 (Sedan, made at NUMMI)
GC211410 MR2 AW11 85-90.5
GC281440 Camry SV2#,VZV21 89-91 (made in Jap)
GC283440 Camry SV2#,VZV21 89-91 (NUMMI)
GC284440 Lexus ES250 VZV21 90-91
GC311460 Cressida MX8# 89-92
GC651430 Van YR2#,3# 89-90
GC671440 Truck/4Runner RN5#,6#,7#,VZN6#,LN5#,6# (4 & 6cyl, diesel) 84-89
GC791430 Land Cruiser FJ62 88-90

I figure the last two are the most important, but I know this copy of the EPC has been making rounds on alot of other Toyota model boards...

I checked the Eur, Jap and Gen files too.
Two missing from the Eur, Six missing from the Jap, and none from the Gen.
I didnt bother trying to identify any but the missing US files.

Also, there is a version floating around called "2004_EPC_2.zip" (1.75GB) that I downloaded. I went through that, and it matches your .iso's... :(

[pbgbottle]

this kinda sucks . kinda weird that the JAP and EUR are missing files i actually have the real cd's ,will have to look into those disc's also . i will have to figure out how you are figureing out what is missing

[Cracker]

LOL

It started when I wanted to look up parts for an 86-88 PU, and when I clicked that line in the Model Search, I got a CD error.

Then I realized the Catalog number listed in the 2nd column is the name of the matching .MST.

Then, it was just a matter of printing out all 5 pages of the Model listings, and then going through matching the catalog numbers on the model search to the .MSTs in the U1 & U2 folders. (I guess I was bored...LOL)

I also counted all the models listed as being on the "A2" cd (last column on the model search page), and matched that to the total number of .MSTs in each folder....LOL (REALLY, REALLY bored!!)

It just sux that the PU and Land Cruiser are missing. Out of 110 vehicle models listed in the US data, it had to be two of the major files we need... :P

Each model listing also has a separate date shown in the second column from the right on the model search page.
I'm wondering if, the difference in dates between the A1 and A2 CD have anything to do with it?

Like the EPC may be looking for stuff up to 7/29/03, same as A1 disc, and these missing files which arent on the A2 disc (3/27/03), may have actually been on the an earlier A1 disc (maybe 3/27/03)? Then got switched over to the A2 disc for 7/29/03? I dont know...Make sense?

its late, and my brain is fried from messin with this for the last 3 hrs...LOL
