Command line arguments for starting HHTWin from Shortcuts

Q: 

Does anyone have a list of command line arguments/parameters for starting mb star diagnostic SD Connect C4 HHT-Win directly from shortcuts? For example, I know that "HHTPKW.exe -b140" will start HHTWin for the W140 (gas version), and -b129 will start it for the R129. I'd be interested in other arguments or parameters that might be available, such as starting HHT for diesel variants directly. 

I found a program that can extract these from 32bit programs, but HHTWin is 16bit, running in a virtual environment on x86 Windows, and the program won't work.


A: Here it is:

hht parameters for x32 and x64

WINx32

Default: 32-bit operating system: run HHTWIN directly


PKW:
CmdLine="hhtpkw.exe"


Parameters:
‐Lnn language : ‐L02
‐b baureihe : ‐b124, ‐b140, ‐b202, ‐b201, ‐b210, ‐b126, ‐b107
‐m motor : ‐mB Benzin, ‐mD Diesel
‐wO8154711
‐C dbname : ‐CPKWWIN.CDB
‐P dbpath : ‐PC:\PROGRA~1\MERCED~1\HHT\PKW\
‐D Dialog : ‐D


example how to use:
hhtpkw.exe ‐b140 ‐mD ‐wO8154711


NFZ:
CmdLine="HHTNFZ.EXE"


Parameters:
‐n nfz
‐wO8154711
‐b baureihe
‐C dbname : ‐CNFZWIN.CDB
‐P dbpath : ‐PC:\PROGRA~1\MERCED~1\HHT\NFZ\
‐D Dialog : ‐D


example how to use:
HHTNFZ.EXE ‐n ‐wO8154711 ‐bSPRN

WINx64

64bit operating system: HHTWIN run via virtual machine


CmdLine="HHTWIN_VM_Start.exe"

Parameter:


PKW:
HHTWIN_VM_Start_PKW.bat


NFZ:
HHTWIN_VM_Start_NFZ.bat


The batch file specified by the starter is specified as the parameter (Als Paramter wird die Batchdatei angegeben, die der Starter aufruft.)


example how to use:
HHTWIN_VM_Start.exe ‐HHTWIN_VM_Start_PKW.bat
HHTWIN_VM_Start.exe ‐HHTWIN_VM_Start_NFZ.bat


-w parameter, i'm not sure but it is always included in pkw or nfz.
-D dialog of language

hht vm is the most wanted program. it is made for x64 OS.
DAS automatically set the correct OS, and choose the correct file to run.

About Mercedes Coding: Software Calibration Number coding, short for SCN coding is intrudes by Mercedes Benz around 2005. It replaced the previous coding technique with a centralized and almost automated technique to prevent incorrect coding being selected when replacing a module. SCN Codes will now be able to be generated by authorized dealership personnel via any computer with internet access or any NetStar Terminal. This will be possible by the user accessing a secured website utilizing a log-on and password unique to the user. The user then will be able to generate an SCN Code using vehicle data as well as data from the replaced/flashed ECM.

The process:

The dashboard status

In DTS Monaco – Kurztest_205_odx:

Read and save data

Read ECU identification only

Clear codes and read data
