For anyone who wants an FSM, please PM me. I lose track in the thread of remembering who I’ve helped and who still needs one.
Sent you a PM. Thank you very much!
FYI I've heard of some issues recently getting local browsers to work with the ISO download of the FSM, particularly Chrome and Firefox. I'm pretty sure this is because the FSM wants to open up every file locally on your desktop, and normally allowing a web browser to do that is really really bad security (since it basically allows a website to browser your local PC for, say, your tax returns or pics of your family).
Rather than continuing to encourage folks to reduce their browser security my suggestion for getting the FSM working easily is to set up a local webserver on your desktop and point it to the ISO. I've done some brief testing and this works pretty well for me. Here's the summary, assuming you're running Windows 10:
Rather than continuing to encourage folks to reduce their browser security my suggestion for getting the FSM working easily is to set up a local webserver on your desktop and point it to the ISO. I've done some brief testing and this works pretty well for me. Here's the summary, assuming you're running Windows 10:
- Download the FSM ISO image. It's about 40GB.
- Right click and "Mount" the image. That should make it appear as a new drive letter (D: or E: or similar) in "This PC". (This shows up as D: for me below)
- Download the Abyss web server from Aprelium - Download Abyss Web Server X1. There are Windows, Mac, and Linux versions so this should work for Mac users too.
- Run the installer. When it's done you'll have to set up an administrative name and password to manage the configuration (admin/admin or admin/password is probably fine for this). The installer will then launch your web browser and direct you to log in at http://127.0.0.1:9999/. You'll use the credentials you just created to log in.
- Under the "Hosts" section click the "Configure" button
- Click the "General" link/icon (first one)
- Set your "Documents Path" to D: or E: or whatever the ISO mounted as in step #2 above, then click "OK" in the bottom right corner
- If you want to prevent anyone else from trying to use your PC, click the "IP Address Control Rules" link/icon next and then add an "Allowed IP Address" of "127.0.0.1" and click "OK". Next set the "Virtual Path" to "/". Then click "OK" in the bottom right corner. (Note: I recommend doing this since I cannot vouch for the security of the Abyss web server or the Toyota TIS website code)
- Click the "Abyss Web Server Console" link near the top to take you back to the "home page" for the configuration menus
- Click the "Server Configuration" link
- Next select "Mime Types".
- In the "Custom MIME Types List" at the top, click "add". Create a MIME type of "text/html" and add an associated extension of "jsp". (Note: Setting this is the "magic sauce" which makes Abyss a viable webserver. I tried a few other servers like Fenix but they didn't support adding a JSP extension and without this your browser will just try to download the file locally instead of displaying it).
- Click "OK". You should have a banner prompting you to click "Restart" to apply your changes. Do so now.
- Under the "Hosts" section click the "Configure" button
- Give it a few seconds to restart, and then point your browser to "http://127.0.0.1/"
- Browse away!
If the above configuration is confusing, you should be able to open "C:\Abyss Web Server\abyss.conf" and replace the contents with the text below, then save and restart the webserver. (Note: I tried to share the file but the forum won't allow posting of a .conf file and I didn't want to get into renaming file types to make it work):

For those who go the Abyss Web Server route, I had someone else ask me today why it wasn't working after they rebooted their PC:
Go to the Windows search and type "Abyss Web Server Startup Configuration". You can change it from "Manual Startup" to "Install as a Windows Service" (my preference) and click OK. Then hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager, go to the "Services" tab, right-click on "AbyssWebServer" and click "Start". From that point forward it should be running and it should start on future reboots for you. If you ever want to disable it just repeat this paragraph but change it to "Manual startup" or unselect the "start at boot" box and you can always start it by hand in the task manager services tab.
You might need to re-start the local Abyss web server after a reboot if you don't have it set up to start automatically. (I think it asks you at installation time if you want it to start automatically or not, but I can't entirely recall). If you can't get to the administrative configuration interface at http://127.0.0.1:9999/ then that's likely the issue.

any love for MAC OS users?
The ISO file isn't mac or pc dependent. Regarding the web server, the first #3 in post 45 of this thread implies it should work.
I don't have a Mac so I can't officially test on one. If someone wants to send me a Mac for testing, I'll "officially" support it (as much anything I do is ever official).
That said as @LBridges notes there's an Abyss webserver for Mac and the ISO is readable on any system, so it should work for you.

Run windows in bootcamp, or virtualize (parallels works well for most things).
That will work though if you set up a local webserver it's not necessary anymore.

For the ISO of the factory service manual, can that be (relatively easily) downloaded from the official website with one of the short term subscriptions (IIRC they have options for a few days or a week)? I'm assuming nobody has an ISO for 2020 that can be shared yet and I am willing to pay something to get it through official channels.
FYI - Was getting an Error 404 message so I had to remount the image again after setting it up correctly the first time (i.e., this step from from above...)
Right click and "Mount" the image. That should make it appear as a new drive letter (D: or E: or similar) in "This PC". (This shows up as D: for me below)<img src="https://forum.ih8mud.com/attachments/1597691796696-png.2407723/" data-url="" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" alt="1597691796696.png" style="" />
Nope. There is no Toyota ISO of the FSM. It's just a website which has a LOT of javascript and XML/XSLT and it generates your docs on the fly. If Toyota had an ISO (or really any downloadable version) this thread wouldn't exist.

I had been assuming the ISO's were generated after downloading all the javascript/XML/XSLT from the Toyota site as an ISO is just a container for files. I should have worded my post differently, I guess, but I'm assuming someone ran a script of some sort to download everything and generate an ISO file from it. But I doubt that person has downloaded the contents to generate ISO files for every model year. I had gone to the effort to download pretty much everything for my 2006 LX-470 and recall that it was a painful exercise.
It's a reasonable assumption, and partially true. The ISO is actually a bootable Linux image, plus all the stuff that was downloaded, plus some indexes and menus and other stuff that gets created (some of which requires a few manual copy/paste operations). It also includes the scripts to download and create PDFs, which are largely hacks (in the "just make it work" sense of the word) that make tons of assumptions and do virtually no error checking.

Yeah, unless you set Windows up to auto mount the ISO image when it boots, this step needs to be done each time the PC reboots.
I was able to get the ISO to work in the web browser on Windows 10 without the need to install any third party tools.
- Go to: Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
- Check "Internet Information Services" (the default partial select features should be sufficient)
- Click OK and let it install what you just selected
- Windows Key-R and enter "inetmgr.exe" to launch the IIS Manager
- Expand the left pane until you're at "Default Web Site"
- Right click on "Default Web Site" and select "Add Virtual Directory"
- Give it an alias of your choice, perhaps "ToyotaFSM"
- Select the drive the ISO has been mounted to for the physical path
- Select "Default Web Site", then double click "MIME Types" and add a new MIME type for File name extension "jsp" and MIME type "text/html".
