I installed atmel flip (http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/Flip%20Installer%20-%203.4.3.exe) on my Windows XP to use flip, it works fine.
I also installed it on an used Windows 7 PC, and it worked fine.
when I installed it on a fresh Windows 7 (64-bit), it failed. It said missing libusb0.dll, but I can see libusb0.dll installed in c:\program files (x86)\atmel\flip\usb\amd64, ia64,x86 directories
I guess I could make flip to work by copying the proper version to windows system directory, but what is the proper installation procedure for end users?
Any suggestion for it?
Thanks |

we are trying to package up the FLIP install (really we only need batchisp.exe) with our own firmware upgrade hex files and scripts to deliver to our Field Service Reps so they can upgrade our AVR32 based devices over USB in the field. Since they are not wise enough to do more then a single click install we are using PaquetBuilder to package it all up together.
we are having the same problem where we can launch the flip install directly from our install but in the end it is giving this same .dll missing errors. we have found you must go into the device manager and right click the DFU that pops up when USB is plugged in and select 'Update Driver...' but this assumes the user has a clue what he is doing. we tried right click 'Install' on the .inf file in the 'usb' folder directly but that gives an error as well.
is there any way to install the usb drivers automatically from within a dumb installer like PaquetBuilder? copying .dlls is fine as well assuming we know which files go where. ideally the Flip installer would automatically install the USB DFU drivers but that does not seem to be the case.  |

Thanks for your suggestion, and here is what I do in my installation script to get around the Driver Update procedure:
1)Keep the normal installation
2)Install Flip 3.4.3 to a PC, under C:\Program Files\Atmel\Flip 3.4.3\
3)You will find amd64, ia64 and x85 folders under C:\Program Files\Atmel\Flip 3.4.3\usb
4)Copy the above three folders to the target PC, keeping the folders in right order, e.g c:\MyTest\flip\amd64, ia64, and x64
5)Copy atmel_usb_dfu.inf and atmel_usb_dfu.cat under C:\Program Files\Atmel\Flip 3.4.3\usb to the target PC, under c:\MyTest\flip
6)Pre-install the USB driver following the instruction on http://www.ultimaserial.com/preinstalldriver.html, I use the pre-installer for Vista (http://www.ultimaserial.com/cPreinstalldriver.exe)
The syntax for pre-install USB driver is
cpreinstalldriver.exe c:\MyTest\flip\atmel_usb_dfu.inf c:\MyTest\flip |
