I was able to get bfgminer running and now I don't receive any error messages but there are no devices found. I have two asic but since I can't install this driver I can't tell bfgminer what com ports to use.
Every tutorial I've watched points to this one driver but does this driver have any prerequisites that I am not aware of?

First off, I hope I'm in the right place asking these questions.  I'm trying to get BFGminer working but I can't get this driver to install. I've tried running as admin, I've turning off all antivirus and firewall possibilities, I've tried unzipping through multiple programs, and I've tried getting the drivers through different sources. Still no luck. Do I even need it? I open bfgminer and put in all my pool info and try to launch it just crashes. A message pops up but disappears to quickly for me to read it.

1. Why can't I install the driver?

2. Is it the cause of bfgminer crashing apon launch?
