Sound advice.
Were you able to get the one you bought up and running? Those who have got the software itself running are using tech professionals, so if you did get it to run, props. But using it, after it's installed, is another story as well. There are forums developed to that proposition exclusively.
I went the V1.4.0 route myself. Doesn't do everything, but it was a simple driver install (copy the file to disk) and then connect the cable, and bang, it works. I runs diagnostics, reports faults, clears codes, allows for basic programming features, and can code new modules (assuming your brave enough to try that).
