Development Board Drivers

[JohnCrow]

Hi
Are you going to release a pic programming board driver for windows 7? (32 bit)

Hello

As far as I am aware our current driver should work fine with windows 7 both in 32 and 64 bit.

Hi Benj
Tried installing the driver on a second pc running windows 7 (used a fresh download of EB-006 from your site)


Still get the same error

"DPInst does not execure on the current operating system"

Windows 7 RC Build 7100 (32 bit)
ANy ideas?
Thanks

Hi Benj

Just found that the driver can be installed manually.(Only tried 32 bit.)

Ensure the driver folder is unzipped on the hard disk
Connect the board to the USB port
It will try and fail to download the driver.(Cancel the auto download)
Open device manager.
Click on the matrix board and select manual install
Point to the EB-006 folder
Windows will ask if you want to install the unsigned drivers
Ciick Yes
Drivers will now be installed

Hope this is of use to other users.

Hello

Yes sorry I should have mentioned the pre install does not work.

If you have the files unzipped then you can simply point the driver installation at the files and both the 32-bit and the 64-bit drivers should then work fine.

This also goes for the HP488 Dev board, ECIO PIC, MIAC, Formula Flowcode, Locktronics PIC, USB Slave Flowcode component.
