Hi @TimToombs,

I was able to convince an unpatched Win 7 install running in a VirtualBox VM to recognize a Joulescope and run the Joulescope software. You need to manually force Windows 7 to use WinUSB with this INF. Here are the steps:

  1. Configure your VM USB settings to “USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller”. You may need to download and install the VirtualBox Extension.
  2. Save the INF to a {path} in your VM
  3. Connect Joulescope to the host PC and then to the VM (you should get a “Device driver software was not successfully installed” message in the VM)
  4. Start Device Manager: Start, type “Device Manager”, press Enter
  5. Right click on Joulescope
  6. Click “Update Driver Software…”
  7. Click “Browse my computer for driver softawre”
  8. Enter your {path}, click Next
  9. Click “Install this driver software anyway”
  10. Should see “Windows has successfully updated your driver software”
  11. Click Close

You should now be able to use the Joulescope software normally. Hope this helps!
