Bosch Esi Tronic 2013 1 2 And 3 Versions Will Not Install Mhh Auto New

The original ESI 2013/1 installer contains a custom action that attempts to stop the Windows Installer service mid-installation to write registry keys. On Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, or 10, this triggers a deadlock. The MSI engine waits for itself, then times out after 15 minutes, rolling back.

Solution: Extract the MSI from the DVD using Universal Extractor. Then run: msiexec /i Bosch_ESI_2013_1.msi /qb- /norestart This bypasses the custom action.

Once the base software installs, you must fix the database, or ESI will crash on launch.

You might ask: Why go through this trouble? Why not install ESI 2014 or 2015?

The MHH Auto community values the 2013 v1-3 releases for four reasons:

When trying to install any of ESI tronic 2013/1, 2013/2, or 2013/3 on a system previously touched by MHH Auto tools, you will see one or more of the following:

  • Verify installer integrity

  • Check and install prerequisites

  • Disable interfering services

  • Clean up previous ESI remnants

  • Run installer with elevated options

  • Resolve common error codes

  • Install MHH Auto New related components

  • Post-install checks

  • If installation still fails

    • Many older threads on MHH Auto contain links that are now dead or ISOs that are incomplete. If the installation fails at the "Database Copy" phase, the ISO is likely corrupted.

    Summary for Success: To successfully install the Bosch ESI tronic 2013 1, 2, and 3 versions, install them sequentially starting with version 1, run the installer as Administrator in Windows 7 compatibility mode, and ensure no older Bosch registry keys remain on the system.

    Hey everyone,

    I know we are all used to hunting down the latest 2024/2025 releases, but sometimes you need the old faithful 2013 versions (1, 2, or 3) for legacy vehicle diagnostics, specific diesel injection timing data, or older TSI engines that later software versions stopped supporting properly.

    I kept running into a brick wall trying to install ESI[tronic] 2013/1, 2013/2, and 2013/3 on a modern PC (Windows 10 Pro x64). The installer would either:

    After digging through the old MHH Auto archives and combining three different “fixes,” I finally got all three versions to install cleanly. Here is the MHH-approved method that works as of this week.

    For 2013/1:

    For 2013/3 (trickiest):

    If you’re trying to install Bosch ESI[tronic] 2013 (versions 1, 2 or 3) and the installer fails on an MHH Auto New system, this guide shows practical troubleshooting steps and fixes to get the software installed and working. These steps address the most common causes: compatibility issues, missing prerequisites, permission problems, and corrupted installers. The original ESI 2013/1 installer contains a custom
