Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] Using the programmer with Windows 8 - problems

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Marcelo,

Could you try todays installer from this link?
http://usbpicprog.org/downloads/UsbPicProg-x86-r130327-release.exe
http://usbpicprog.org/downloads/UsbPicProg-amd64-r130327-release.exe

It works on my laptop with windows 8. (only tested the 64 bit version)

Kind regards,

Frans Schreuder
