I have a USBTinyISP. I've tried to install on my laptop (64bit) with no success.
I downloaded and unzipped the driver file "usbtinyisp_libusb-win32_1.2.1.0.zip" but am puzzled.
The file "libusb-win32-bin-README.txt" is rather cryptic with no clear instructions.
For example the following line:
"x86\libusb0_x86.dll: x86 32-bit library. Must be renamed to libusb0.dll"
Renamed????? Why? Where?
There are two programs installer_x64.exe installer_x86.exe. I tried them both including run as administrator.
A DOS box very briefly flashes on the screen but appears to do nothing useful.
Plugging in the USBTinyISP leads to the usual installing driver message followed by failure.
I deleted the USBTinyISP in Device Manager and tried every combination I could think up.
I would appreciate some help from someone who has done this successfully.
Thank You,
Joe

Re: USBTinyISP - Install problem
There is a file in the zip folder called "x86\libusb0_x86.dll". It must be renamed to "libusb0.dll".For example the following line:
"x86\libusb0_x86.dll: x86 32-bit library. Must be renamed to libusb0.dll"
Renamed????? Why? Where?

Re: USBTinyISP - Install problem
I did rename the file, then what?
There are 2 installers, installer_x64.exe and installer_x86.exe. Which one on Windows 7 64 bits ?
I tried them both and neither worked.
When I plug in the usbtiny I get the usual "installing driver" message followed by the failure message 'file not found'.
If this driver actually works can you give me CLEAR instructions on how to proceed?

Re: USBTinyISP - Install problem
we've installed on a 64 bit win 7 computer dozens of times so we know it works - uncompress it, then use the device manager, point to the folder thats uncompressed. should just work!

Re: USBTinyISP - Install problem
My problem was caused by my foolishly reading the 'libusb-win32-bin-README.txt' thinking it would contain useful information.
The readme tells us to rename a file. Of course if you ignore this advice the driver installs just fine.
