Help, AVRISP mkII driver support with Windows 7 64-bit
So I finally got around to installing AVR studio on my Windows 7 partition. When I installed AVR studio, it said that the USB driver worked with Windows XP 32-bit and 64-bit, and Windows Vista 32-bit only. Now my guess is that Windows 7 applies to all the same stuff as Vista. Does anyone know of a third party driver that works with Vista 64-bit?

You ever figure anything out on this? I downloaded both the 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows 7 and am on the fence as to which to install.

It depends on what you're doing, 32-bit applications will work on a 64-bit platform, but drivers need to be specifically 64-bit for a 64-bit platform, which is the thing you need to worry about. Most printer drivers are designed for 32-bit, which angers me. But if you want to use all of your processing power and all of your RAM(more than 3 GB), then go with 64-bit. But it is all up to you, depending on what stuff you're running. I have not yet found a 64-bit driver for AVR ISP, but I will look harder.

EDIT: Link to outdated thread removed. (AVR Studio 4.15 already claims to be fully Vista 64 compliant -- guess that's not the same as Win7 64!)

My version I installed about a week ago, so it is currently not out of date. From the post it said there was going to be a driver soon. I don't know how soon.

Oh, I didn't see that, I quickly skimmed it because I was a bit busy with something. I will download it and try it out.
Re: Help, AVRISP mkII driver support with Windows 7 64-bit
I just installed win7 64bit, AVR Studio 4, and couldn't get the mkii to work with or without the new driver I posted. Hopefully you have better luck than I did. Now I need to see if my original partition is still around or if I just zorched my computer.

I just installed Win7 64bit on a second partition and installed another copy of the Nov 08 AVR Studio 4 but I couldn't get it to recognize my mkII either with or without the new driver.DaveyPocket wrote:Oh, I didn't see that, I quickly skimmed it because I was a bit busy with something.

(Well, what I really did was install that usb driver first, noticed that it didn't properly recognize the device, then installed AVR Studio 4, and noticed it didn't make any difference. The control panel claims the .inf file is invalid)
Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Poking around some more, it seems like that beta usb driver is really old and has been superceded by newer releases of AVR Studio.
Unfortunately it seems that 4.15 claims to be fully Vista 64 compliant, but Win7 doesn't like it.

ps. My machine has two hard drives in it (SCSI, don't ask). When I boot XP, they are C: and E: (and I can see my Win7 install on E:). When I boot Win7, it only sees a C: drive that is XP's E: drive. Anybody know how to get my original C: drive to show up?

I looked at the .inf file and didn't see anything obviously wrong, but I didn't exactly know what I was looking for either.A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
