Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] ALL: please help testing the new Windows installer

[Mark J. <hel...@gm...>]

Hello Francesco, I have tried your recommendations (and the new r848
installer) on the Sun VirtualBox Windows XP x32 virtual machine. This
results in "Usbpicprog Error: Could not initialize libusb: Operation
not supported or unimplemented on this platform".

Note that the r778 software will run, on a new XP x32 VM, even without
libusb-win32 installed, but only if the libusb0.dll file was copied
into the same folder as usbpicprog.exe.

HOWEVER... I am not convinced that it is even possible to run
UsbPicProg in a Sun VirtualBox VM, because the VirtualBox USB filter
is not passing the connected UPP hardware to the VM. (It doesn't "see"
it.) Thus, even if the UPP software would install properly in the VM,
at this time, the hardware cannot be accessed. I will gladly help in
testing the installer further, however.

Kindest Regards,
Mark

P.S. The uninstall.exe file will work to uninstall UPP if manually
executed, but so far, I have not seen any uninstall entries created in
Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. This is for both the Win7 x32
host and XP x32 guest OSes.
