If you are in this situation, a dialogue appears (under Windows) to install the
new driver. You have to indicate the path to the system where it can nd the
driver. Under Windows 2k/XP you need to select rst the manual installation
and not to look for a web service. On our CD the driver is in the above men-
tioned directories.
So, just indicate the directory for your Windows version and eventually a few
other les that the system doesn’t nd automatically (they are all in the directo-
ries mentioned below!) ...
Under Windows XP and later versions there is often a message that the FTDI
drivers are not signed/veried by Microsoft (normally not here as the FTDI dri-
vers are signed). This is irrelevant and can be conrmed without any problem.
Operation
For 32 and 64 Bit Windows 7, XP, Vista, Server 2003 and 2000 systems:
<CD-ROM drive>:\Software\USB_DRIVER\Win2k_XP\FTDI_CDM2\
For older Windows 98SE/Me systems:
<CD-ROM drive>:\Software\USB_DRIVER\Win98SE_ME\FTDI_D2XX\
After the installation of the driver a re-start of the computer may be necessary with ol-
der versions like Win98SE! PLEASE NOTE: Under Win98/Me only one of both drivers
is working: Either Virtual Comport or the D2XX driver from FTDI! Unfortunately there is
no driver that offers both functions. Normally there is no virtual comport available as the
RP6Loader under Windows uses as a standard the D2XX drivers (you can change this
- please contact our support team!).
Check the Connection of the Device
To check if the device has been correctly installed you can use the device
manager as an alternative to the RobotLoader under Windows XP, 2003 and
2000: Right click on My Computer --> Properties --> Hardware --> Device
manager
