Mick's Breeze Blogs - Biztalk/Sharepoint/... - DLP RFID1 64 and 32 bit USB drivers that WORK on Win 2008 x64 RC!!! Yay!!
Things hard and not so hard....
# Tuesday, February 19, 2008

I'm about to run training at the Microsoft BizTalk RFID Solution Days and I was contemplating rebuilding my host O/S which is Win2008 RC1 x64.

The RFID devices that the students will walk away with are USB based.

I use a third party USB Sharing software to share the USB ports to the VPCs. The thing I've noticed is that using the USB drivers the sharing and responsiveness works a treat.

The problem is that there are no - 64 bit USB drivers for the RFID1 device.....until now!!! :)

I decided to 'fudge' a *.INF file that installs the x64 bit drivers much in the same fashion as the i386 drivers.

So my current setup is:

(a) Host - Win2K8 x64, RFID devices plugged into it with x64 USB Drivers.

(b) USB Sharing Software

(c) Inside a VPC (using Hyper-V) running the 'client' of the USB Sharing I install the x32 bit USB Drivers.
This VPC is running x32 BizTalk RFID and basically the course!

We're cooking!

Grab the drivers below

UPDATED: Windows 7 x64 will install these drivers from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

A CDM 2.04.16.exe has it all - http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.04.16.exe
