the equipment is as follows"
- laptop running Windows 7 pro SP1
- USB-Serial cable (label reads N287) plugged into USB port
- Shoestring EQDIR adapter (serial-serial) plugged into mount
- Hardware ID of EQDIR adapter: USB\VID_067B&PID_2303&REV_0300
- installed driver: Windows Vista/7/Server2008 (32 & 64-bit) WDF WHQL Driver: v3.4.62.293 (10/17/2013)
- no hand controller used
I have installed the driver via "run as administrator", restarted the computer and plugged in the device (not connected to mount). When the device is plugged in Windows installs the driver but then prompts with an error message, saying the driver was not installed correctly.
The device shows in the control panel as USB-Serial-Controller, not working due to no driver installed. When following the update driver path, I find that the directory where the driver should be is empty. Directory path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Prolific\PL-2303 Vista Driver Installer.
I tried drivers from the auto update, from Prolific and from cooldrivers.
I had it working on my XP machine. Is there any way to install the driver differently?
