I was able to install ETKA 8.0 and upgraded to 8.1 successfully on Windows 10 x64. Here are my exact steps :
- Download the following files, you can find in the original post and/or in the rest of thread posts.
– ETKA8_Germany_International_2018
– DLL-PATCH
– ApplicationX64
– ETK8_2018-V1_CORRECTION-INT
– Etka Updates v1.8.1
– Etka Prices v1.8.1
- Install ETKA 8 with from ETKA8_Germany_International_2018 , instructions can be found here: ETKA 8.1 Electronic Parts Catalogue Download FREE
- If you receive DLL error, use DLL-PATCH. Make sure you close setup process properly before starting it.
- Use ApplicationX64 if you have 64bit OS
- Use ETK8_2018-V1_CORRECTION-INT to fix shortcut issue
- Launch ETKA8 and make sure it’s working. At this point, it’ll tell you it’s expired.
- Close ETKA8 and launch Etka Updates v1.8.1 . It’ll automatically download all updates from the internet.
- Once all updates downloaded do NOT launch ETKA, close the updater.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not download 8.1 from the update popup. Keep clicking on Continue Data Upgrade. You will upgrade to 8.1 by using IX folder.
- From this point, it’s important for you to ONLY install following updates. Otherwise, upgrade to 8.1 will fail.

Go into DATA folder (mine is in C:/ETKA/DATA) and find Updates folders under each main folder. Move all other updates newer than the versions listed above to somewhere on your Desktop. Anything newer then these updates will need ETKA 8.1 version. Don’t delete newer updates, you will need them later or you will need to use Etka Updates v1.8.1 to redownload again.
- Launch ETKA8 and let software update. Once it’s finished make sure you have all versions are matching with the versions listed above.
- Once you are done with the updates close the software and go into C:/ETKA/ and follow these steps.
- Prerequisite: The folder “C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\” is available in your ETKA Folder.
2. Copy the contents of the folder “C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\PROG\” to “C:\ETKA\PROG1\” and overwrite the existing files.
2. Copy the contents of the folder “C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\PROG\” to “C:\ETKA\PROG2\” and overwrite the existing files.
3. Copy the contents of the folder “C:\ETKA\PROG\IX\DATA\” to “C:\ETKA\DATA\” and overwrite the existing files.
- After copying files you will need update following configuration files
C:\ETKA\PROG\Etka _User_au.ini
C:\ETKA\PROG\Etka _User_se.ini
C:\ETKA\PROG\Etka _User_sk.ini
C:\ETKA\PROG\Etka _User_vw.ini
- and paste the following information at “POI”. Make sure you don’t have any space around = and end of each line.

password=BE1E75CD9AB8B7C3
- Move all newer updates back into Updates folder where you take them from. You can also use updater if you delete them.
- Launch ETKA and finish remaining updates. Final versions will look like this based on the current updates.
