BU-SESSION-LINKER – Automated Session Management for BimmerUtility & E-Sys - Puksl - 06-30-2025

Hello everyone,
I would like to introduce my current tool: BU-SESSION-LINKER.
✅ What does it do?
BU-SESSION-LINKER is a Windows batch wrapper designed to automatically manage sessions for BimmerUtility and E-Sys.
It helps to cleanly organize sessions and dynamically link E-Sys to the current working directories – no manual copying or renaming required.
✨ Features:
  • Automatically creates timestamped session folders on the desktop.
  • Creates a symbolic link
    Code:
    latest
    pointing to the active session.
  • Automatically symlinks the subfolders FA, SVT, TAL directly into the E-Sys directory.
  • Renames existing E-Sys folders with the prefix
    Code:
    WRAPPER_
    to safely preserve the original data.
  • Directly launches BimmerUtility after session setup.
  • Fully checks for admin rights and restarts automatically if needed.
? Why BU-SESSION-LINKER?
✔️ No manual path input required.
✔️ No risk of overwriting original files.
✔️ Clean session tracking with clear versioning.

Release Status:
✔️ Release 1.0 is available.
✔️ Fully functional without a restore script.
