Hello from a complete newbie to PICs

[HenrikOlsson]

Hi Andy,
Welcome to the forum!
Although I have an EasyPIC7 board I haven't yet used it so I'm afraid I can't help with hands on details.
However, I do know they have a user manual (I'm sure you got a printed one as well) for that board and that there indeed are some instructions in it on how to install both the drivers and the mikroProg programmer application. In short it's not enough to simply extract the files, you need to run the setup file for the OS in question - at least that's what the manual says.

I've read the manual and installed the oftware, it just doesn't seem to want to install the USB driver ??

Hi,
When you install the drivers, make sure you use the one from the correct folder (the one for W7 64bit) and try right-clicking on the .exe and select Run As Administrator. If all fails I'd probably try the MikroE forum or support. I'll see if I can make a go at it with my board (it's about time I set it up anyway) I'm running W7 64bit as well.
