5. If the uninstall process completed, the FTD2XX entry in the Add/Remove list should now
be gone.
Note that although the above procedure will remove the Lambda SC USB device driver from
active use, not all related files on your system are actually deleted. Should you decide to
reinstall the USB driver for the Lambda SC after having gone through the uninstall process,
Windows will most likely be able to locate the necessary USB driver file on your system
during the installation process, without requiring you to supply the disk containing the
driver.
If you wish to completely remove the USB driver and related files from the system, you either
manually delete the file FTD2XX.sys from the “system32” directory in your Windows
directory, or navigate via My Computer or Windows Explorer to the “system32” directory in
your Windows directory, locate the file FTD2XXUN.EXE, and double click on it to launch the
general-purpose FTDI uninstaller program. Running this uninstall program will remove all
pertinent FTDI entries in the Windows registry, a far safer approach to removing the entries
manually.
