[RESOLVED] Installing on Windows 8 Professional 64-bit

[x6tus]

I've literally just received my Crazyflie and am following the instructions to the letter. I've not assembled it yet and have plugged the radio into the computer (iMac). I've connected the device via Parallels Desktop 8 to my Windows 8 Professional 64-bit OS. With no problems. As per the instructions the device appears but the driver is not found.
I've downloaded the latest drivers, hit update driver software in device manager, set the correct path to the drivers and I get this...

Crazyradio USB Dongle

Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.

The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information.

...and it fails to install?

Anyone else had this and got around this issue?

Thanks.

Hello x6tus,

you have to disable the signature check on windows 8.
Use these commands in the command promt with "Run as Administrator" :

Code: Select all

bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

Then you have to reboot. Now you can install the drivers.

To disable the testmode do this:

Code: Select all

bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

Thanks but that still isn't working for me. I get the same error after rebooting, even though the TEST MODE overlay has appeared at the bottom of the screen.

Ok, I've read the rest of that article you posted and followed the first set of instructions about going through Windows settings, Advanced Start-up etc and that has now allowed me to install the drivers ok.

Thanks for the link.
