Hi Jim, I believe I have downloaded and followed instructions to the letter however I get the following message when clicking the .exe file in the Jaguar folder:
"C:\Users\McKee\Desktop\JTIS21 S_Type\data\startup.txt contains an invalid path"
What I find confusing is why it is looking for a path thru "Users" when there is nothing there? Cheers Dan

 

Hi Dan (member Porcupine)

The file in your C:\jaguar folder that you need to run is jjtis.exe - the jjtis.exe file runs and opens the Jaguar Shop Repair software (JTIS manual).
You may have a problem with the jjtis.ini that is probably located in your C:\Users\McKee\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows folder.
Use the search term jjtis.ini and search your C drive - you may have multiple jjtis.ini files in different folders that can cause the software not to start.

Here are the first 5 lines in my jjtis.ini file:
[File]
StartFile=C:\JTIS21\data\startup.txt
DataPath=C:\JTIS21\data
DTCStartFile=DTCStart.PDF
Whatsnew=C:\JTIS21\data\whatsnew.sgm

Here is what is in my C:\JTIS21\data\startup.txt file:
<!DOCTYPE STARTUP PUBLIC "-//JAGUAR//JAGUAR STARTUP DTD//EN" [
<!ENTITY JAGPICT SYSTEM "GRAPHIC\XK8CONV.BMP" NDATA BMP >
]>
<startup><illus id="JAGPICT"></startup>

All the lines of code in the startup.txt loads a image of the jaguar logo (leaping cat) it will show when the software open its first viewing screen.

1st line is referring to the file in C:/Jaguar/Dtds folder (Startup.dtd) - it contains processing information about the image -
<!ELEMENT STARTUP - - (ILLUS) >
<!ELEMENT illus - - (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST illus id ENTITY #REQUIRED>

I not trying to make you a programmer, but I thought I should explain how it works.

Somehow, the .ini file automatically installed "pointed" to my Users etc folders? I edited the file to read the same as your first five lines and lo and behold, I can now access all the files thru the .exe command. Thanks for for guidance.
Cheers Dan down under. PS: wonder why LHD has heater bleeder valve but not RHD? anyway I'll leave that question for another day.

 

I did not see the note here about the windows 8 msu and used the Win 7, seems to work, I had to do it through DOS! I can't believe I remembered DOS commands, geekdom, anyway it seems to be working, I'm a little hesitant to run the new software help and screw it up. And I had to make sure I ran the command prompt as admin.

 

My computer stalls when I run the setup.exe file....I cannot get it to load... The computer is a 64bit win 7.

I have a Mac if that is easier...

Does anyone have a simple .pdf of the manual???

Thanks,

Doug

 

Guys,

I have found an easier solution... Resurrected an old Vista laptop andloaded it up without a problem...

Can I just say thanks... I have spent the last week reading up on all the problems / solutions / tricks and tips for my new car and reakon you have saved me from making numerous mistakes, saved lots of $'s and given me some great ideas...

Thanks!!

Cheers,

 

I tried downloading this for the s type and it doesn't work.

 

It does, but maybe not for you. If you want help you'll need to say more!

I just tried the mediafire JTIS archive downloads for S Type and also found that mediafire issue (blocking exe file type downloading) when I tried it with Internet explorer also with google chrome.

Update 7/7/2014 - problem with downloading these archive files on mediafire.com - instead use dropbox.com weblink

I also added this update to post 1.

AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the hard work and unselfishness.

 

hey guys ...join my Group In Facebook too...

Is it possible to install to windows 8 without having to use a virtual machine.

 

Is JTIS21 the latest available? It seems to run up to 2004 (working on 64Bit Win 7 tho - thanks)

 

That is the end. Jaguar switched to a subscription based repair access. Called TOPix. But for the S-Type not much changed from 2004 to 2008 when the car ended.

You can register and pay for TOPix if you want??

Thanks very much, I just bought the Jag Docs one. I'll take a look when I get chance to sort my in cabin temp sensor

 

Would this have files for 2006 STYPE 9r just up to 2004?

 

Should i run this in compatibility mode if im running windows 7 64 bit?

 

Mostly. Very few things were changed.
