Details on Win7 64 bit new install method & new JTIS21 XJ series archive

Try opening some of the DTC summary PDF files directly from the C:\JTIS21\DATA\DTCEN folder using Adobe Reader.
If you can open them, then there is a problem with your JTIS software install, otherwise there is a different problem with your PC.
Here is a JPEG file (I created) partial listing of that folder showing the PDF files in that folder (I added the model year and model type next to the PDF file name:

Greetings All XJ8 Enthusiasts:
Well, believe it or not, you CAN get the JTIS working with Windows 10. And, relatively simply.
1. First, above all, perform an ISO system back-up (e.g. with WD back-up).
2. You have to do a stand-alone "Windows Help" fix.
3. You have to do the DAO350 install/fix separately.
Follow all the instructions (found in google/jagforums search) for each step.
You do not have to create a separate XP/W7/W8, etc. virtual environment; just get DAO 350 DLL in your registry.
Get these two doc engines installed in Win 10 and you'll have no problems.
Good hunting!

jimlombardi, what a fab tool JTIS21 is! I wasn't sure at first if it would run a Windows 10 x64Bit machine, but with some wangling I have it running fine, including ALL the PDF's for maintenance, battery care etc.
After first loading the Program, it kept crashing as soon as I clicked on 'Service' and then it crashed out. As is pointed out so many times it was the DAO350.dll problem, the 'Setup' in DAO Directory on Disk 1 wouldn't work for me saying "not available for this machine".
So I Googled 'DAO350 for Windows 10' and came up with the following site where it can be downloaded and the site also includes 5 different methods for installing DAO350 and making it work on a x64Bit machine (there's some very useful info above from Bill Thompson, Post #44).
Download Dao350.dll for Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP
I used 'Method 1' and kept getting this error
So I tried the other Methods too, I honestly don't know which Method worked, but after restarting the computer following each Method, it worked... except for the PDF's!
Then I found a download for Acrobat X, loaded it... and yes... it does work on Windows 10 64Bit, even though I have Acrobat XI installed, though I did have to make Acrobat X my default viewer (I just use run Acrobat XI as and when needed).
I'm not a computer genius, but there was a smile when it all came up and working great, along with the 2.5k page Manual, it makes almost every job possible? I would like to add my thanks for all your hard work on this

Sorry to necro an old post, but I'm almost 3 hrs into this after a 16 hr work day & I'm done messing w/it!
Anyone recommend a link/resource where an exhausted & frustrated computer illiterate idiot like myself can just pay for & download a PDF service manual for my 1998 XJR? Thanks in advance.
*Never mind. I went to the Dropbox link & it downloaded perfectly! Thanks for sharing!
