Even if you have added the VAG-COM path to the wine windows registry, so that it can find the executable, it will not work properly. Unfortunately, running VAG-COM is not as simple as just typing: "wine vagcom.exe" at the home directory command prompt. This can be simplified by optionally creating a desktop icon below. $ sh –c cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/VAG-COM" & wine vagcom.exe $ cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/VAG-COM" & wine vagcom.exe > When the installation is complete simply delete this desktop icon as it does not work in linux.Ħ.Run VAG-COM by typing at the terminal either: => Creates a desktop icon called "VAG-COM Release 607.lnk" on the desktop.

VAG-COM Cable = HEX-COM+CAN cable from Ross-Tech. I have installed the recently released version 607.0 of VAG-COM under Ubuntu Linux. It was probably based on version 504 of VAG-COM but provided me with hope that I could get it to work. This HOW-TO () from 2005 requires mozactivex and a couple of DLLs. VAG-COM has undergone many updates since then. This HOW-TO () from 2001 is too old so I don’t know if it still works.

However, others (with more experience than I) have used wine to get it working under Linux in the past. Ross-Tech explicitly state that it is only supported running under Windows. VAG-COM (is an on-board diagnostic (OBD) scanner for Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles.
