Win7 64 bit (or Vista 64bit), that is a bit problematic. I think you have to use test signing right now if you want to use libusb-win32. http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/drvsign/kmcs-walkthrough.mspx The latest svn version has the option to use test signing. We (admins for the libusb-win32 project) will probably get the money to get a digital signature in the future so that libusb-win32 can work under 64bit Vista/Win7. http://libusb-win32.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libusb-win32/trunk/libusb/ I have not tried to use pyusb with Win 7 64bit yet. 32bit/64bit DLLs are provided by the libusb-win32 package. Probably 32bit Python can work with the 32bit DLL libusb0.dll is under C:\windows\syswow64. The 64bit DLL libusb0.dll is under c:\windows\system32. Sounds confusing, right? But that is because Microsoft wants to keep the compatibility between 32bit and 64bit Windows. The 64bit drivers (you can not use 32bit driver for 64bit Windows) libusb0.sys will reside in c:\windows\system32\drivers. Or maybe you want to move to pyusb-1.0 and use libusb-1.0 Windows backend. In that case, you can use winusb.sys as the driver and it works under 64bit Vista/Win7. http://www.libusb.org/wiki/windows_backend -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ pyusb-users mailing list pyusb-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pyusb-users
