dmdext gives pin2dmd not found. help

[mrmadmike]

I am using the v1.7.1 of  DMDext.

Nucleo 144  F429 with pin2dmd v2.55 installed and ACTIVATED.

I get the following:

The USB registry shows      VID_0314&PID_E457    which sort of matches what the code is looking for when parsing the registry list.

I have been at this problem for about a week trying all sorts of suggested solutions.

I know I have probably missed something since I seem to be the only one with this problem.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Which driver is installed for the device ? libusb or winusb ? 

[mrmadmike]

that was it, had winusb installed

probably read that 100 times, just kept reinstalling winusb.

thanks for the nudge.
