I saw someone mention JRE 10 update 80, but I can't find that in a search. I've got a new laptop I am trying to get to help me with my Merc!

Avoiding 10 as hard as I can.....

Current version (ver 8 update 65) seems to work fine.

Thanks Frank, I will try that.

I have the current version running under (over?) Win-10 and EPC does OK—as good as it ever does!

I have 10, and it's honestly better than 8.1. I might just switch unless you have software that you think won't play well with 10.

I just went through this and found that using the current version of Java worked fine, but I could not use Microsoft Edge as the browser. I used Chrome and it worked fine.

No one likes 8.1 that I know of ....
I would still be using XP if I had a way....
I would hope that 10 is better than 8.1
but that seems like a left handed compliment at best...

Well, that was The Most Painless experience... JRE 8/65, the first one that would work, and load EPC just like normal, no hiccup whatsoever.

I have been unable to access EPC for a long time.

Read this post and thought "Hey it might work"

Nope.

Chrome on Win 7 pro

Must not be holding my mouth right.

Always says unable to process at this time.................

UGH!

Might work if you upgrade to 10.

Okay, I spoke too soon... I can get into the repair part just fine, but the actual EPC, not so much. I attempted it today, and got an error message I am unsure what to do with...

An error has occurred...

The call to EPC net or WIS/ASRA net was not successful.
Fault code: 1003
EWA-Host: refailfactory.mercedes-benz.com


I should mention, I am in the sticks without WIFI, and I am connecting to the internet via cellphone tethering; its the best I can do right now. This May be the reason, but it might be nice to have confirmation of that. I was able to download the program from MB in about 2-3 minutes, but it won't completely open up.

Any thoughts?

Go into the Java control panel. Make sure "enable Java in browser" is checked. Set security to High. You may need to set the EPC site as an exception, as well.

I see a panel where it says 'Java Runtime Environment Settings', and an http address for Java listed. I can add another address; is this the panel to which you are referring? I hesitate to make too many changes without confirmation with this stupid thing, I had SO MUCH FUN getting it to run on XP.

Thanks for your patience.
