Hi Dave,

That's great news. This means the B100 is being found.

The images downloader is a Python script. Do you have a D:\Program
Files\UHD folder? Can you look there to see if the uhd_images_downloader.py
script is installed?
If, and I believe this is the case, the GNU Radio binary installer you are
using has the release version of UHD 3.9.3 then you can manually download
the images here:
http://files.ettus.com/binaries/images/uhd-images_003.009.003-release.zip

I'm not sure the exact folder they should be unzipped into for the UHD
library to find them given the custom build (UHD isn't usually in the GNU
Radio bin folder). However you can download the files, extract them
somewhere (into D:\Program Files\UHD\share\uhd\images if the UHD folder
already exists) and try manually specifying the fw and fpga paths.

For example but modify as needed:

uhd_find_devices --args "fw= D:\Program
Files\UHD\share\uhd\images\usrp_b100_fw.ihx,fpga= D:\Program
Files\UHD\share\uhd\images\usrp_b100_fpga.bin"

Regards,
Derek
