#21 Driver install problems on Win10x64

[Max Frames]

I've tried to upgrade from 0.4.99.99 to 0.4.99.103,I've followed the instructions verbatim:uninstalled the old version from Settings-Apps,removed the path from %path%,opened an elevated command prompt,cd to the install directory,and entered "install zoomfloppy"(I have a ZoomFloppy with firmware 0.7).When I was requested to update the device driver,I plugged in the ZoomFloppy as requested and chose"4"(update driver);I got a warning about the driver not being signed,I chose YES to install it anyway;the procedure completed without errors.After the installation,I found that all the commands(eg. "cbmctrl status 8" or any other command) gave an error "usb request for xum1541 close failed/libusb driver error".A quick check in "Device manager" revealed that the libusb driver version was the same as before,i.e. apparently the driver was not actually updated.Since the new version does not work with the old driver, I figured this was the issue.This was confirmed by the fact that uninstalling 0.4.99.103 and reinstalling 0.4.99.99 everything works again.I don't know why the driver was not updated or why I did not get any error messages during installation.
Also, I was unable to update the ZoomFloppy firmware to 0.8 with the supplied batch file,no device was found;I suspect this is due to the same issue with the driver not having been updated.

Thank you for your report.
You are the second person who has problem with an upgrade from older versions.
I will have a look into it and come back to you.

This will be fixed with 0.4.99.104. For anyone willing to test, I can give out the necessary driver installation routine, just ask me.

I would like to try. Could you please provide me with the necessary routine, and minimal instructions to upgrade from 0.4.99.99 (with driver libusb-win32-bin v1.2.2.0) to 0.4.99.103/104 (with the current driver, whatever type and version that is), and to upgrade the firmware of the ZoomFloppy device? Thanks a bunch

That was me on that last post, I had problems with my login, sorry for the inconvenience.

I will generate a v0.4.99.104 this weekend. That should fix the problem.

[Spiro Trikaliotis]

I just released v0.4.99.104. Please test that.

It worked perfectly. Zero issues. I was also able to update the ZoomFloppy firmware. Thanks

I'm happy that it works for you.
Thank you for the feedback!
