How to solve BMW ICOM ISTA Database version error

Problem:


I just installed theV2017.3 BMW ICOMISTA-D 4.04.12 ISTA-P 3.60.2.001 software HDD on Windows 7 laptop. But failed to install and ISTA software gave error:

"Error in version of database

Existing versions of databases are not compatible with each other. Please contact your

Local assistance. The installation may be incomplete."

And then ISTA-P was ready to shut down

ista-p-shut-down
I was told it was because the language incompatibility.

I followed engineer suggestion to change language to English ( or German /Chinese) to check if it is okay.
This time I can open icom software, but nothing display, all blank.

Final solution:

You need to update yourBMW ICOM Next/ICOM A2firmware to newer to work with newer ISTA software.
