USB bulk demo driver

I'm running through the USB dev kit tutorial and am having trouble with the bulk demo. I installed the driver, but when I try to run the example the device manager gives me the error "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

I am running Vista. I cannot find any driver updates on the CCS website. Any thoughts?

I can't get the virtual com port driver to install either. I get the error "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

USB to UART

The system cannot find the file specifi

The virtual comm port should work. There is a latter 'cdc_NTXPVista.inf', which even works on Vista64, that has downloaded with the compilers for a long time now.

How do I get vista to install the proper driver? I've found the 'cdc_NTXPVista.inf' driver in the PICC/Drivers folder, but when I try to right click and "install" I am told "the INF file you selected does not support this method of installation." If I go to the device manager and update the driver and point it to the Drivers folder I get the same error as before (cannot find the file specified).

EDIT: nevermind. I had to copy the cdc_NTXPVista.inf file to a new folder with nothing else in it and point the device manager to it. It looks like the device manager was still trying to install the old (non-vista) version because both versions were in the PICC\Devices directory. Vista will only let you point the device manger to a directory and not a specific file. Yay vista!
