Hello all! Having a bit of trouble getting my 1747-UIC installed on some new laptops we recently ordered.
Got the drivers from AB and had successfully installed them on some older, XP laptops, but they won't load on the new machines we got.
New machines are running Windows 7 Professional x64.
If I plug in the 1747-UIC, I get the install driver message, point to the folder, it says no driver found. If I try to run the FTDIUNIN.EXE from the folder, I get an error message saying that c:\windows\system32\ftdiun2k.ini is not found. The folder comes with a file with that name, so I tried copying it into sys32 folder and still get the same message.
I have read numerous other threads on this topic and they all seem to be about getting rslinx to work with the UIC. This is not the problem I'm having. I haven't even gotten that far yet. I cannot get the device to be recognized as the AB DH485 device that it should pop up as.
Any help would be great as our new computers are pretty useless if they can't connect to our PLCs. Thanks!
