I'm not sure if this is quite the right place for this but it is for a new installation of the PE v5.4.0
In the last few days I upgraded my desktop PC to Windows 7 32-bit. Since I also had to instal my applications agin, I downloaded v5.4.0 of the PE and installed it, with no obvious problems.
On this PC, I usually use the AXE026 serial cable, since it has a hardware serial port. I also use the AXE027 from time to time, particalarly when I need 2 serial connections to my PICAXE projects.
In opening the PE, I noticed a new option in W7's Rev-Ed sub-menus: "AXE027 USB Cable Driver Preinstaller"
Beauty! I thought, that should make installation of the AXE027 drivers so much easier, so I clicked the menu entry.
The result was the following.
I have tried it a couple of times over the last 3 or 4 days and it still doesn't work. Do have any hints on how to get it to load the driver? Or should I just revert to the old way of loading the driver?
