Indeed this is an issue for the libusb-win32 and libusbk's inf-wizard. My Windows 8 x64 installation reject to install drivers and throw out an error message like this (for libusbk's GUI inf-wizard using the "Install Only" option) Starting libwdi packager.. Package folder is C:\Users\Mcuee\AppData\Local\Temp\InfWizard_Driver.. Package name is DrvA25.. Creating and preparing driver package .. Installing driver. Please wait.. Failed installing driver: System policy has been modified to reject unsigned drivers Operation failed. Pete's Zadig works though since it supports the self-signing. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwdi/files/zadig/ For libusbK's inf-wizard, you can generate the client driver installation package first and then run "InstallDriver.exe" to install the driver package. It uses similar method like Zadig to self-sign the driver package. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master HTML5, CSS3, ASP.NET, MVC, AJAX, Knockout.js, Web API and much more.
