- Attach the USB cable and let it start the New Hardware Wizard.
- Take all options in the Wizard to find the files manually.
- The files that you need are at C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\RT SystemsV5\RTDrivers\USBComDrivers\Drivers
- Run the New Hardware Wizard once using ftdibus
- Then a second time using ftdiport (Usually the New Hardware Wizard will begin again on its own.
