Re: [Libusb-win32-devel] Hi can you please help me?

[Stephan M. <Ste...@ia...>]

Try libdpfp (http://dpfp.berlios.de/wikka.php?wakka=3DHomePage),
a user space library that uses libusb. The website claims that
the software works only on Linux but porting it to Windows
should be easy.

BTW: I found the aforementioned web site by typing=20
"microsoft+fingerprint+reader+libusb" into Google.
