Hi, I couldn't install the virtual comport driver given by NXP (USBCDC project) on win7.No problem on XP. Is there anyone run USBCDC on win7 ? Has anyone experiences about this subject? Where can find a suitable driver for win7 if there exist?
I am waiting suggestions asap.
Thanks.
Hi,
I modified the stmcdc.inf based on Tsuneo suggestions as follows in order to run under windows 7:

Tsuneo, Could you please help me to figure out the reason?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi all,
More infomation for my scenario. My machine is 64 bit Windows 7. I run the command " bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON" in the command prompt and make the windows go to TESING MODE. However, I still get the same error message.
I greatly apperiate any suggestions.
Finally, the driver is installed under WINDOWS 7. I add the part NTamd64 in the inf file.
