Win 8.1 64 bit installation
First don't plug in SSAG
Always run installers in Admin mode
1. Run the SSAGDRVFULL.exe
When it gets to location of install (delete the X86, it always defaults to this )
this was the main reason why the ASCOMSSAG driver did not work as the driver is 64bit enabled but defaults to installing as 32 bit on istallation, thats why when you try to connect it fails (refer to pic1)
2. Then run the SSAGPHD2.exe this will setup for PHD software.
If you use Maxim software run the SSAGSetup.exe, it will also do the PHD too
3. Then run the SSAGASCOMSetup.exe this the adds the SSAG driver to the Platform. (v6.1)
4. Then plug in SSAG USB.
goto device manager, open usb tree, if it is in
unknown devices.
Right click, go to
Update driver software update,choose update location on my computer.
Then browse to the
Program Files directory, browse to the
Orion directory, then the
SSAG_Drivers_Win8
Click next. ( refer to pic2 )
This then should work with any ASCOM compatible imaging software
As in Pic3 APT i did include pics of Sharpcap etc, they worked!
I have tried with several other packages and all good
Extra bonus is that you can do Mono pics and AVI's with the SSAG too, plus several other choices for guiding with the SSAG.
