Default Re: DRB III Emulator?

Update on my experience installing the emulator on the Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet .... it works!

I used Windows 10 Home, 32 bit OS and all the files on the CD/DVD included with the device. Apparently, there is already a digital license installed on these devices, which originally came with Windows 8.1 so I just needed a bootable Windows 10 media and the Windows 10 drivers from Dell's support website.

A couple of odd things occurred during the emulator installation steps which are worth noting:

After installing the DRBIII Emulator stub, I was prompted for and successfully installed the updates. I seem to recall getting a 404 error the last time I did this, which told me the servers were no longer responding.
During the update process, it also installed the Enhanced DRBIII emulator stub.
Apparently, it was a newer version than the one provided on the CD because I received a warning that the newer version was already installed, so I skipped the step of trying to install the one provided in the CD.

Installing the K-Line stub went as expected.

So, it all just worked and I'm very happy to have a compact solution that I can easily take on the road to help other XF owners in the area.

Thanks for the hint, UrbanE !
