Hi, here is another solution that I have just got working although it is not as convenient as having the proper 64 bit Vista drivers!

I am running a Virtual PC emulator that runs on 64-bit VISTA called Portable VitualBox which can be downloaded for free from www.portable64.com. The exact download was called Portable-VirtualBox_v2.1.4-Starter_v3.03-Win64.exe. Unlike Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007 SP1, VirtualBox supports use of USB within the 'Guest' operating system from the real USB hardware attached to the 'Host' operating system.

In short, this is what you do: -

1. Download and install Virtualbox as above.
2. Configure and install a 32 bit operating system (XP in my case) as a Virtual Machine, enabling the USB option.
3. Run Mikroelektronika from within the Virtual Machine.

The only thing to watch out for is when you attach the Mikroe hardware for the first time (in my case EasyDSPIC4A) you are prompted to install the USB driver for VirtualBox. This is found in its install directory under /app64/drivers/USB. Reboot the virtual machine, reconnect your development board and install the 32-bit drivers for the operating system of your Virtual Machine (XP in my case).

It's a real shame to use a VISTA-64 bit machine in this way, but at least I can perform all my development work on the one machine.

Good luck!

Dave.

Marko, this works for me on all my development boards on VISTA ULTIMATE 64 bit SP1.

Thank you so much for getting this job done!

Best regards,

This situation is the same as if you are installing on a new hard drive, you will have to request a change of registration to the virtual drive that you have created. This should not be a problem for your supplier to do for you. As you can see signed 64 bit drivers are available as of yesterday to I recommend you you this route!

Good luck!

i`m using it now works great

I have the referenced driver and can't get it to install. I have an EasyPic5 board with the Basic Compiler V6.0.0.0

The mikroBasic tool comes up and seems to work, but it can't communicate with board as it doesn't find the driver for the USB interface. Is there a description somewhere that describes the steps to get the tool to be setup with Vista 64?

Thanks

[angwabod]

I posted too quickly. I have it running now.
