Unable to install GPIB USB hs controller on Windows 8

[Husain111]

When I try to install the GPIB USB HS controller on my laptop, which has Windows 8 64 bit, the installation does not work. Every thin goes smooth until the progress windows then nothing happen even if I wait for ages. When I used the same CD on the desktop, which has W7 32 bit, I managed to install the driver. According to the datasheet the controller is compatible with W8 but not sure 32 or 64. Do you think this is the issue or there is something else going wrong?

Did you check your uac settings?
We found out that with default uac settings in win7 64 bit the install does not work.
In the line you can type in win7 (I'm not sure about 😎 uac and press enter.
Then check the user access settings and make sure they are as low as possible
