How to install MB Star HHT-WIN on Win7 32-bit

It’s an instruction on how to get Mercedes MB Star diagnosis HHT-WIN software work on Windows 7 32 bit system. Enjoy. Info below is shared by users. Try at your own risks.


HHT-Win FOR WINDOWS 7 32-BIT ITS WORKING.

Can’t make HHT-Win work under x64 win 7

HTTwin of XDOS work in 32bit only:
win7,
win8,
win10

It’s for XP in old xentry(12_2015-01_2016)
Setup for HTT-WIN working:
COPY HHT Folder :C:program files>Mercedes-Benz>hht
and folder HHTwin in userdata,>config>hhtwin
and change slave=PARTT2
HHT WORKING GOOD

I run the SD connect C4 both on Windows XP(Xentry) & Win7 32bit (XDOS)(with HHTWin12.2015) .
Running Xentry on Win7 32 bits without HHTWin limits one seriously. cant go into specific ML modules without HHTWin . It sucks……32bit is so much faster………..
The speed workaround is using SSD’s. It’s like HTT-WIN 2015.12 from mbstartool.com. If you are new to this, i recommend to buy SSD with pre-installed software. (will avoid lots of issues)

DAS not recognize all ECUs through 38 pin cable solution

DAS is working perfect on any car with the 16 pin cable and Xentry also is working perfect. But when DAS is connecting with the w210 car through 38 pin cable, DAS only recognize 3 ECUs then nothing, i changed the 38pin cable gives me the same result.
mb-sd-c4-hdd

i used windows7 ultimate x64bit with Xentry openshell 5.2016, all patches and fixes are applied.



I changed the old cable with another HQ 38 pin cable, but the same problem!

tried on different car, same problem,
same car tested on old system (MUX MB Star C3 + Windows XP) works perfect



HHT-win system, simply a message said:" HHT-WIN is not available on this system"
but as per the photo only few ECUs are detected, then nothing....





User suggestion on this topic:

Depends on which W210 it is facelift or pre-facelift with FBS3 or older system? For facelift version have to working shortest through DAS. Pre-facelift version/older model is automatically switched to HHTWin. For example as I remember W168 model year 2003-2004? /I forgot/ is full short test in DAS and then if you click on some ecus then is switched to HHTWin. Facelift W210 model have to working full short test in DAS. This is not HHTWin problem. Maybe your hardware have problem with connection to older cars.



Professional advice from mbstartool engineer:

It’s normal. DAS / HHTWin does recognize some ECUs only through 38 pin cable. And there is not ECUs in old cars as many as new cars.



On a side note, no need 38 pin cable if obd connection is ok
