Hi,

Well, this happens with the old version too. But in the new version,
libusb0.sys is started differently from the old version, that possibly
makes the windows-provided usbd.sys discovery fail.

Err, no, usbd.sys is always installed in
c:\windows\system32\drivers\usbd.sys, and that's precisely because
libusb0.sys is not installed there too that the usual discovery fails.

Actually, I'm wondering: instead of trying to make libusb0.sys work
from /usr/lib/libusb/, is it fine (packaging-wise, I mean), in
libusb-install, to just copy it into c:\windows\system32\drivers\ and
then use the usual libusb-win32 filter setup?  That works fine and
actually makes the patch simpler...

Samuel
