Driver from release v1.1a does not work for me under Windows 10 Pro #36

Hi @hangrydave ,

I've now found time to test the contents of this repository! Thanks for your efforts in making this possible.

As I don't have a C++ build toolchain at hand on my Windows machine, I've tried the latest release v1.1a for Windows.

Trying to execute the executable gives me on the Windows console:

$>C:\Users\User\Downloads\InfraredBrickTower-v1.1a-Windows-x64\InfraredBrickTower.exe
Device not connected or driver not installed
Error getting USB interface!
Ending tower thread...
Done

Which kind of makes sense. So I tried to install the driver, but without success:

grafik

(The error message is in German but it would freely translate this to "adding this driver to memory has failed".)

Do you have any ideas what could have happened? Are you aware of a way providing more diagnostics?

I am running an x64 Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045) here.

Best regards Mäh


Edit: I've also checked the drivers from previous releases. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me.

Edit2: Fortunately, it works on the same machine running Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS). :tada:
