Libusb-win32 is a port of the USB library libusb to 32/64bit Windows (2k, XP, 2003, Vista, Win7, 2008; 98SE/ME for v0.1.12.2). The library allows user space applications to access many USB device on Windows.
Features:
-Can be used as a filter driver for existing, already installed devices. This feature allows libusb-win32 to communicate with many installed USB device.
-Can be used as a normal device driver for devices for which no driver exists (self build/developed USB hardware, etc). You can also replace the existing device driver with libusb-win32 device driver if desired. This is the preferred way to use libusb-win32.
-The two methods described above can be used in parallel. However, the device driver mode is the preferred way to use libusb-win32 followed by using device filter driver mode. The class filter driver is not recommended to be used.
