We use Phidget21 for our machines in our factory. The machines sill use Windows XP because of some hardware support only Windows XP. We are working for legacy hardware replacement, but we cannot finish by now.
Right now we cannot order Phidget21 for stock our spare part because of Phidget21 already EOL. We can order only Phidget22 but we cannot install the Driver for Windows XP. I saw Phidget22 driver still support Windows XP but need to install by manually. I try to download full source code (phidget22-fullsource). I guess the file postbuild.bat should compile the source code for driver but I don't know how to use it.
Would you guide me how to manual install the driver, please? It very urgent for our factory for now.
PS, You load cell looks cool. We are ordering to test and apply it to our machines also. This machine is a new machine design and come with Windows 10.
What language are you using? The C library is still compiled for Windows XP Support but this isn't actively tested. .NET should work, and we include .NET libraries going back to .NET 2.0
What Phidgets are you using? Some newer Phidgets will not be plug-and-play compatible on Windows XP, you would need to manually install the WinUSB driver for them.
The download I linked is a .zip not an installer. There is no need to install any libraries on Windows XP - you need to includes our C and .NET libraries with your own application. Our MSI installer which installs the libraries, control panel, etc. will NOT work on Windows XP.
What Phidgets are you using? I can't advise whether you need to worry about WinUSB without that information.
