Universal USB Device Driver (USBIO)

The steps required to install the USBIO driver by using the Installation
Wizard are described below.

On Windows 2000 make sure you are logged on as an
administrator or have enough privileges to install device drivers on
the system. In general, special privileges are required to install
device drivers on Windows 2000.

Connect your USB device to the system. After pugging in the
device Windows launches the New Hardware Wizard and prompts
you for a device driver. Complete the New Hardware Wizard by
clicking Next on each page and Finish on the last page. Windows
either installs a system-provided driver or registers the device as
“Unknown”.

Do not abort the New Hardware Wizard by clicking the Cancel
button. This will prevent Windows from enumerating the device
and storing enumeration information in the registry. As a result of
this, the device is not visible in the system and USBIO Installation
Wizard is not able to install the driver for it.

For some kinds of devices the system does not launch the New
Hardware Wizard. A system-provided device driver will be
installed silently. This will happen if the device belongs to a
predefined device class, Human Interface Devices (HID), Audio
Devices, or Printer Devices for example. The USBIO Installation
Wizard is able to install the USBIO driver for such devices but this
will disable any system-provided driver.

Start the USBIO Installation Wizard by selecting the appropriate
shortcut from the Start menu. It is also possible to start the wizard
directly by executing USBIOwiz.exe.

The first page shows some hints concerning the installation
process. Click the Next button to continue. Note that you can abort
the Installation Wizard at any time by clicking the Cancel button.

On the next page the wizard shows a list containing all USB
devices currently connected to the system. Select the device the
USBIO driver shall be installed for. The Hardware ID will be shown
for the selected device. A Hardware ID is a string that is used
internally by the operating system to unambiguously identify the
