If you haven't installed ECUFlash yet, do that first! The newest version of ECUFlash will install the most current OpenPort2.0 drivers available. The driver's should be installed before attempting to install EvoScan. You'll also need some of Ceddy's files in order to properly install EvoScan, which you downloaded during the ECUFlash install.

To install ECUFlash and the OpenPort 2.0 Driver's see the following thread:

I'm typing this how-to as I install a licensed version of EvoScan 2.7 on a Windows 7 machine using a Tractix OpenPort2.0 Cable. While some of the steps may be similar to EvoScan 2.8+ or Windows 8, I can not promise that this how-to will exactly align. These steps are different from EvoScan2.6.

Now that you've installed ECUFlash and seen that your OpenPort 2.0 Cable is working and you've read your rom image, you are ready to install your logging software, EvoScan. For a few reasons, you will want to install EvoScan v2.7 as it is the most compatible with our DSMs. DTCs and Actuators are hit or miss in the later versions as the EvoScan site indicates:

v2.7 and v2.8 has some better DTC support for some vehicles.. v2.8 and v2.7 and v2.9 can be installed at the same time.

This also assumes that you have paid for your EvoScan license, have your log-in credentials, have your 2.7+ serial number ready and so forth. If you haven't paid for the software and are trying to use it illegally, I cannot and will not help you. Support the vendor already!

Files to have on hand:

EvoScan 2.7:
Download v2.7.0090 FINAL: http://www.evoscan.com/downloads/EvoScanv2.7.0090.zip
Can be found here: EvoScan Software Updates

Ceddy Mods "Mitsubishi MUTII" file: This file was zipped along with your ECUFlash files from Ceddy's site
Ceddy Mods v1.9c: CeddyMods DSM 1v9C « ceddy.us
Can be found here: Store « ceddy.us

Step 1.) Make sure Windows 7 is up-to-date. .NET framework can come into effect later if it's not. Chances are this is a non-issue, but these instructions are fairly "tight." Log in as the system's admin account and unpack everything onto your desktop or into a folder on your desktop.

Step 2.) Double Click the "EvoScanv2.7" file, hit run (if necessary). The install wizard will start - Click next

Step 3.) You are now at a screen asking where you'd like to install the software. Per Ceddy's site:

Note – Windows 7 and Vista have a feature called UAC. It makes a duplicate copy of your program files.
This means when you try to install the EvoScan and EcuFlash .xmls, the changes won’t take effect, instead the duplicate .xml will be used

To remedy this don’t install EvoScan and EcuFlash to C:\Program Files\, instead install to another directory created by you.
For example install to, C:\ProgramsXP\

Elect to install EvoScan2.7 in it's own folder in the C:\ drive, much like you did with ECUFlash. My installs look like this "C:\ECU Flash\Ecu Flash\", "C:\EvoScan\EvoScan v2.7\". Whichever way you want to install it is fine, just remember that you'll need to gain access to these files again later on. For the sake of simplicity, we'll be using "C:\EvoScan\EvoScan v2.7\" as the install directory.

Windows 7 will ask you if you if you want to "install EvoScan 2.7 for yourself, or for anyone who uses this computer" Select "Everyone" and hit next.

Step 4.) "The Installer is ready to install EvoScan v2.7 on your computer." "Click 'Next' to start the installation." - This should be a no brainer, click next. Windows may then ask if you want to "allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" Again, a no brainer- click yes. Wait for the program to install.

Step 5.) "Installation Complete" "EcoScan v2.7 has been successfully installed." Simply click "Close" at this point.

Note!) Do not open EvoScan yet! Now is where we get into the hard part of driver installation and the Ceddy Mods MUTII file.

Step 6.) Go to where you installed EvoScan in step 3. Start>Computer>C:\>EvoScan>EvoScan v2.7. Open the folder "USB Drivers" then "openport 2.0" You will see a file named "op20pt32.dll" This is the OpenPort 2.0 driver that needs deleted per EvoScan:

EvoScan has another copy of op20pt32.dll in its own folder. As you know, current folder has the highest priority to search and execute a requested dll.

Solution:
1. Install EcuFlash1.43.3252, the new version of op20pt32.dll driver is installed into your windows system folder(likely windows/system32/).
2. Then remove the op20pt32.dll in the EvoScan c:\program files\ folder, this way EvoScan 2.7 will work with OpenPort2 again.

Since you've installed ECUFlash, 1.43.3252 or greater, you have already installed the OpenPort2.0 drivers. Having duplicate drivers will cause EvoScan v2.7 to not detect your OP2.0 cable. Delete the driver from EvoScan: "Start>Computer>C:\>EvoScan>EvoScan v2.7\USB Drivers\openport 2.0\op20pt32.dll" and close the window. If you put it in the Recycling Bin, go so far as to empty the Recycling Bin.

Step 7.) Installing the Ceddy File - It is located in the file you downloaded "CeddyMods_DSM-1v9Cb\EvoScan_2.7+\Mitsubishi MUTII" Because Windows 7 will split where EvoScan 2.7 is installed, open C:\Windows\Users\*Your Account Name*\My Documents\EvoScan v2.7\Data Settings\" You'll see a file called "Mitsubishi MUTII" (~71kb) in there. Delete this version and replace it with Ceddy's "Mitsubishi MUTII" file (~8kb).

Step 8.) Close all open windows. Restart your computer. Open EvoScan2.7. At this point you may be prompted for your registration email and serial number. Enter it of course and continue until you get to the EvoScan 2.7 Interface. On the top left of the screen there are radio buttons for "OpenPort 1.3x" and "OpenPort 2.0" select the OpenPort 2.0 radio button. Just below it you will also see some check boxes for "OBDII 96+, Subaru, DSM/3000GTEcl. MUTovrOBDII" As much as you'd like to use "DSM/3000GT" don't. Select "Mitsubishi MUTIII." The data list will populate if it hasn't already.

Step 9.) Testing out EvoScan: Connect your OP2.0 Cable to your PC and the OBD-II port. You can have the flash connector hooked up now also, but it is not necessary. Turn the car's ignition to the on position- It doesn't need to be running. Click "Start DataLogger." Provided you have correctly installed EvoScan2.7, OP2.0 drivers, and Ceddy's Mitusbishi MUTII file properly, you should hear the sweet sound of "LINK ENGAGED." SUCCESS!!! Stop the data log and continue to test.

Step 10.) On the lower right of EvoScan 2.7, you'll see a button that says "Actuators" Click that and find in the list "Radiator Fan Low." Provided you aren't logging at this time, you'll hear "LINK ENGAGED" when you select it, and your cooling fan should turn on low. Click it again to de-activate.


EvoScan2.7 is now successfully installed with the Ceddy's corrected MUTIII protocol for the DSM H8 ECU. You are ready to start data logging and tuning. Don't forget to set your injector scaling.
 
This doesn't work now. There are a bunch of different MUTII files, none of them near the idicated file size. To get it to work you have to delete most of them, and then you don't have the ability connect with mutII
