Installing LibUsb-Win32 on Vista


What I have done:-

   1.

      Download libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1.exe (the version current
      @ 27/09/07)

   2.

      Right click on this file. Select Properties | Compatibility Click
      the “Run this program in compatibility mode” box and select
      “Windows XP (Service Pack2)” from the drop down list.

   3.

      Right click again and select “Run as “Administrator”. Follow the
      installation instructions. Running the test program list the usb
      devices plugged into my computer – but not my new device.

   4.

      Go to a downloaded and expanded folder
      libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.12.1
      Plug in new usb device and create a .inf file by going to the /bin
      folder and double-clicking inf-wizard.exe

   5.

      Follow the instructions. The program suggested I save the files in
      Alex/Documents so I left them there. It saved a .inf file and 2
      .cab files.

   6.

       From the Vista start button, go to Control Panel | Device
      Manager. This shows my device under “Other devices”. Clicking on
      the device gives me the properties and tells me that there is no
      driver installed. Click Reinstall Driver. Browse my computer for
      driver software. Browse to Alex/Documents then click Next. I then
      get the messages:-

      Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an
      error while attempting to install it.

      The system cannot find the file specified.


What am I doing wrong?


I have the system working OK under Win98 although it probably is an 
earlier version of Libusb-Win32.


How can I get a known working .inf file? The one generated by the wizard 
refers to _x64 files but there are no _x64 files installed. I copied the 
_x64 files from the folder with the wizard but this did not make any 
difference.
