LibUsb-Win32 is a port of the USB library libusb (http://sf.net/projects/libusb/) to the Windows operating system (Win98SE, WinME, Win2k, WinXP). The library allows user space applications to access any USB device on Windows.
Ok, it's not really a bad project, but this should serve as a warning that it could crash or kill usb in Vista and Win7 machines just by installing - see the forum for more details. If you don't install the filter driver (or run in compatibility mode for win2k when installing), you might be able to avoid these issues.
Right now, given that most programs which use libusb do not tell you to run it in compatibility mode, libusb can be very harmful to your computer and can frustrate the hell out of many users trying to figure out why their system always BSODs. Their should be some way of ensuring that the file installs in compatibility mode until the software is recoded to fully support Vista and 7.
excellent solution for simple and multiplatform interface for the USB. Still at the development.
