21. BCOM-USB Windows 7 and Windows 8 I/O Driver
Installation
Note: If you are installing the BCOM-USB I/O driver on a Windows 2000/XP/Vista
system, go to the section "Windows 2000/XP/Vista I/O Driver Installation". These
instructions also apply to Windows 8.
An example of the folder set on the ASE2000 Communication Test Set software distribution CD
is shown below. For installing on a Windows 7/8/8.1 64-bit system, browse to the "IO Drivers
Windows 7\BCOM-USB\x64 or \x86". The \x86 folder is used on 32-bit systems and \x64 on 64-
bit systems. Once in the appropriate folder, the procedures are the same for 32 or 64 bit systems.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE: Windows 7/8/8.1 I/O driver installation is different from previous
versions of Windows and it is extremely important that the following instructions be followed
carefully to avoid an incorrect installation. The "automatic" driver installation feature of Windows
7 does not work with the BCOM-USB driver. It is necessary to use the manual installation
procedure described below.
There are a number of steps involved for a complete installation of both COM ports for the
BCOM-USB device. It is extremely important that the step-by-step procedures described below
be followed completely.
