I'm glad to see that this has been useful!

The GlobalTIS ISO can be found here (it's a sticky in this forum)

I know I'm a bit late to the discussion, but here's some info that should help you if you're willing to give it another shot (or for anyone else who might come across this post).

I don't know where you got that from, but that is most assuredly NOT the file from the sticky link on the other thread. This is all that shows up when I download it:

When you got to this point, you were looking at the contents of the ISO file, which was in the zip archive you downloaded.
You're essentially at the right point, although you would have to do all this on a Windows PC rather than a Mac.

The zip archive you downloaded contains these files:

When you double click on the ISO, it mounts and shows the contents - this matches what you see in your screenshot. If you were on a PC, double clicking the Setup.exe file would start the installation process.

edit: I saw your latest post. I think I know the CIM error you're talking about, as I've seen that on both my tech2 and Tech2win emulator. I think that's a bug that affects everyone, so it's not necessarily an issue with your setup. I can still skip past that error, and even if there's a failure message, the process still works.

Your key is being split up into two parts, so the first command fails because the key isn't long enough.

See how there the second half of the key is at the bottom of the command prompt? You should copy the key from the GlobalTIS registration PDF into notepad, then put the whole thing on one line, remove the dashes, then paste it into command prompt.

I wonder if the GlobalTIS iso download is somehow corrupted or isn't downloading correctly from Google Drive for whatever reason.

To anyone having that problem, message me on the forum and I can send you a link to the copy of GlobalTIS that I know works.

Fantastic guide. I'm almost there!!!! just one sticking point

I get

"java" is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" when I paste in the final long digit key code into the Admin command panel.

I got this far I cannot give up!!! On windows 10 btw

Anyone come across this before?

I suspect that Java is not part of your system path environment variable. Can you try opening a non-admin command prompt and run the command there?

For GlobalTIS, I use Firefox and set it to automatically open JNLP files with the Java Web Start application. That essentially does the same thing as the Web Start plugin in IE.

I generally wouldn't do any web browsing on an XP machine, but K-Meleon seems like a decent choice. I tried it out and was surprised to see how well it handled modern websites, unlike the last XP-compatible version of Firefox.

When I have a chance, I'll see if I can make an updated video showing the process on Windows 10. It should be mostly the same, aside from not needing to install the ISO mounting software and PDF reader.

Would love this. I never managed to get rid of the Java related error and endless downloads of Java files. Was going to try to custom install GlobalTIS in Programs (Not "x86") to see if it helped. But I got disctracted.

T o address your questions about the Java plugin and having to download the file every time:

• The Java Web Start "missing plugin" will always appear unless you use Internet Explorer. (The plugin is not compatible with any modern browser)
• It's not possible to automatically open the Java/JNLP files in Edge or Chrome. While there is a policy to allow certain file types to open automatically, this won't work on a home PC.
• Firefox may be able to do this if you're using the ESR version and have it configured the right way. I tried a few different things but gave up.

Your best bet is to use Internet Explorer for GlobalTIS since it works with Java Web Start.

Here's the video showing the Windows 10 install process:
