FBH diag lead/software help ???

so I have baught the vagcom lead (the blue ebay one) and the vagcom software dosnt open ?
any ideas ? or anyone got a link to get working software ?
I did manage to download vccs (apparantly a newer version of vagcom) but that dosnt see the cable either. I have changed the com port number and installed the cable drivers (windows 7)
Thanks

Why are you trying to use the VW software?

Thanks for the reply. So do I not need the vag software, just the vag cable and the drivers for the cable then use the webasto software ?

Tanks have read that, I will have another try soon (my laptop died when I took it outside.)

After several failed starts when using the car last night, I plugged in today, reset the fbh and turned it on with the software and ran it up to 50 degrees and then started the car streight up at -3 (it wont usually start below 0 as the glow plugs are dead). so I will have to see if it fails to start when the car wants it to but it does run when the software is telling it to. finger crossed it behaves now, hopefully I can get a fbh controller fitted then.
