As soon as you respond I will detail the last steps to getting this finished for you, 

Bob

Yes, Iam hugging the next bottle. I just read Keith Richards memoirs and he had not slept for 8 days in order to get the recording finished so I can give up at least one night, its almost 3am here.

To clarify previous post: when I plug USB "setup" or "Roland" installation is interrupted by automatic installation. The "setup" installation is then not finished. When I try to close the window it offers to unplug and uninstall. If I choose so it will reboot

I need to know what the state of things is RIGHT NOW on your computer.

1.  Is Windows up?

2.  I understand what WAS happening.  I need to know what IS happening, so I can tell you what steps to take

3.  Is the interface currently unplugged?

4.  Are the drivers CURRENTLY uninstalled?

Please answer ALL of the above as quickly as you can, and I will then know how to direct you.

Bob

Nevermind. 

1. Up
3. Plugged in
4. Installed

OK, Nevermind

Great work Bob hang in there
Regards
Rob

Actually, Dave is trying to save me from myself, and I THANK him profusely.

I got myself in WAY over my head as far as getting into a bunch of threads while we have been working on this one.

I have dropped out of those or wrapped them up, and will  NOT be repeating that over-extension anytime soon.

THIS is the thread I have been trying to nurture through. 

Thanks again Rob, AND Dave, and everyone else.

OK - let's get this working so we both can call it a day.

1. UN-plug the interface

2.  We want to then start your driver installation program

3.  I believe it will ask you to plug in your interface and then to click next - or maybe it will auto-detect that you plugged it in.  It is at THIS step that we should have disable that WIndows attempt to install its stupid drivers.  SO, please let me know what happens after you start your driver install program and THEN plug in the interface.

I won't go anywhere or answer any other threads - so do the above and tell me what happens.

Bob, despite "NEVER" to be still valid the installed driver after plugging is provided by Microsoft

I didnt (and couldnt) click NEXT. So it performs automatic Microsoft installation anyway
