I have tried different XP machines (all SP3) and even wine. They all get
the same error.
Did you use the libusb-1.0.dll compiled by me? that one was built using
mingw, not MSVC++.

I guess you didn't build the 0.3.0 version from tags, but the latest
trunk version. Shouldn't we call it 819 in stead of 0.3.0?

Yes you can with virtualbox, as long as you have a 64 bit processor. But
