Ford IDS software fault

So today's fun was fighting the Ford IDS software. Our fleet garage has happily been installing many versions of this as new ones come out - until version 75 comes out. Then during the installation, where it is "updating the database" it comes up with an error UT0000 - very profound!

The solution turned out to be:

Install the new calibration data
Disable antivirus (not totally sure if this was needed, but some suggested it may be)
Do a repair install of IDS

and then it decided to go all the way through the install.
