My solution, for people not local to me, is not terribly elegant. I setup a VirtualBox VM of Techstream, on my old/obsolete 2012 MacBook Air as documented here:

Figuring that a minimal system is an easier match. I then connected to my 2006 LX470 (that did not have the B1797 issue), and proceeded to do the download procedure. Once that was complete, I put the VM “to sleep, and zipped up the files associated with that VM. For people that have an old Intel based Mac laying around, it seems to work fairly effortlessly. For people with Windows based machines, they seem to run into “path too long” and “core count” issues.
I have a pretty simple request, could someone with a Windows laptop, running the “How to TechStream in 5 minutes” VirtualBox VM, and has a 06-07 LC/LX without the B1797 issue, do the same thing that I have done?
This would allow those without an Intel Mac to have an equally easy solution, without the pain of troubleshooting the Mac —> Windows problems.
I’m more than happy to continue answering questions, and/or host the file, but I’m not highly motivated to drag a desktop to my driveway, buy a modern Windows laptop, or try to load TechStream on a “locked down” corporate laptop.
The other simple solution, for those that don’t want to fight/troubleshoot my self inflicted Mac —> Windows issue, would be grabbing a cheap used old MacBook.

How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes
Getting Techstream up and running can be a bit of a pain. Hopefully this helps someone get started quickly. Step 1: Purchase an OBD-II / Mini-VCI interface. - I have sold out of my cables and supply chains are back in order, so no reason to purchase more. Anything like this will work: Mini-VCI...
