Running WinOLS 4.7 in VMware — high-level steps

  1. Obtain WinOLS installer and valid license from the vendor.
  2. Prepare a Windows VM in VMware (Windows 7/8/10 depending on compatibility). Allocate at least 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended) and enough disk space (20+ GB).
  3. Install VMware Tools in the guest OS for better USB and display support.
  4. Install WinOLS 4.7 inside the Windows VM like a normal Windows application.
  5. Configure USB passthrough in VMware if you need to use a hardware dongle or an external ECU interface (e.g., KESS, K-TAG) — connect the device to host, then in VMware: VM Settings → USB Controller → connect the specific USB device to the guest.
  6. If using an i2c/serial/OBD interface via USB, ensure correct COM port assignment in Device Manager and map that to the ECU software tools you use alongside WinOLS.
  7. Optionally create snapshots before major changes to revert the VM quickly.

Step 3: Install Windows & Disable Defender

WinOLS 4.7 uses code injection to read ECU data. Windows Defender will delete key DLLs immediately. Winols 4.7 Vmware
