Hey folks...
my W10 machine updated to "1709 Build 16299.64" Fall Creators Update I think it called itself and standalone is now a no go. Wanted to test out Mixbus with a controller danggit. Had been working fine as part of the 700R setup prior to this.
 
I've successfully done this before 2 or 3 times and understand the process involved turning off driver signing etc but I have now tried reinstalling the driver many times and tried variations of the .inf file with no success. NTamd64.10 should be fine as Windows fixed there dodgy version numbering so 64.10 is now correct.
 
Literally hangs at the usual 10min+ install screen after starting up the 700C and after 20+mins I give up because if this is the future of standalone 700C use, I'm handing in my hover boots.
 
Might try a couple more things but right now, it looks a bit cooked unless someone has had success with the current Windows updates? 
 
Cheers.

Mick,
Just saw this, 3 weeks late ...

From what i remember mixbus only liked the vs700r if you click the buffer OK button at start up of mixbus dialog window.

Vs700c should be recognized as Mackie ctrl unit

But my experience with the combination mixbus/vs700 is limited. Only tried quickly more than a year ago...

**SOLVED**
I'm still having no luck getting the VS700 Console running with Windows 10 1709 update.  After the update device manger no longer recognized the console has having drivers.  I tried uninstalling the drivers and following all the previous steps outlined here but now windows tells me that it cannot find drivers for my device.  I've tried using the installer as well as force installing the drivers through device manager to no avail.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance!
 
This is the version of the console drivers I'm using,  I have edited the Manufacture section. It was sourced from this Roland page.

EDIT
I pasted the manufacturer section posted by Mully instead of the one in the first post.  This made it work.

Is the vs-700 totally useless now, or does someone have a great recipe? Just had a Windows update, and everything was lost. Tried to do it the same way as the first post in this thread , but no way. Would not install!
 
Anyone?

Well here we are, May 2018, and this trick still works.  Fresh build, fresh Win 10 Pro, VS700 console and rack.  Worked on the first try.
 
Thanks, and thanks again for keeping this alive.
 
cheers,
Dave

What have I missed? Are we up going with the vs-700?
 

Hello,
 
it seems to me that I read somewhere at the time Bandlab launched Cakewalk by Bandlab that something would eventually be done to make Windows 10 drivers official for VS hardware. Is this something believable or not ?
It works nice with the trick explained in this thread but at each major update of Windows, we have to reinstall drivers. Not a big deal but if we can't avoid it as I guess that make it happen seems not a very difficult task.
