Do you put the zip file in or the actual file contained within?

The CalibrationFiles.zip file, if you downloaded the Forscan archive here http://forscan.org/download/CalibrationFiles.zip, must be extracted (unpacked) by the Windows Explorer built in file extractor or a third party extractor such as 7zip, into the C:\Users\{your user name}\Documents\, as this is where Forscan is going to go looking for them. The extractor should unzip and create the Calibration Files folder in your MY Documents Folder.

There should be 45 files in the \CalibrationFiles folder after extraction and the file names in the folder will end in .vbf and not .zip!

Yep I tried that and it just crashed and reset. I heard that Ford blocked access into the BCMii Central configuration screen. :(

sorry to bump an old thread but thank you for posting the files - i've been looking everywhere for the VBF file for Cruise Control, i'm going to try again this weekend and get it installed.
