Installing D2XX Drivers
To install D2XX drivers for an FT2232C device under Windows 98, follow the instructions below:
·
If a device of the same type has been installed on your machine before and the drivers that are
about to be installed are different from those installed already, the original drivers need to be
uninstalled. Please refer to the
Uninstalling FT2232C Devices
section of this document for
further details of this procedure.
·
Download the latest available FTCD2XX drivers from the
FTDI website
and unzip them to a
location on your PC. Please note that attempting to install the FTC combined D2XX and VCP
driver will result in an unsuccessful installation if the device EEPROM is configured for D2XX
drivers.
·
Connect the device to a spare USB port on your PC. As the FT2232C is a composite device, the
Microsoft composite device driver must be loaded first. This is not done automatically under
Windows 98. The Windows Add New Hardware Wizard will detect the new USB device as a
composite device and will guide the user through the installation. Click "Next" on the screen
below to continue with the installation.
·
Select "Search for the best driver for your device. (Recommended)." as shown below and then
click "Next".
