Minilogue: Korg USB MIDI driver Win7-64 not installing

[MusicInclusive]

Hi,

No matter what I try I cannot get the Korg USB MIDI driver to work under Windows 7 64-bit to make use of the librarian.

(It all works fine on Mac OS, but the ML is in my Windows studio not my Mac studio).

I am using the latest driver from the Korg site. DrvTools_1_15_r14.exe

I have (with admin privileges):

- Installed the driver. Says: Not properly installed.
- Removed and reinstalled the driver (and Librarian), several times...
- Removed other midi devices using the Korg tool to uninstall them (I have less than 10 - been there, read about that).
- Removed the entries from the registry by hand
- Removed all Korg device driver entries by hand from under c:\Windows
- Used a different USB port
- Used a different cable
- Removed other USB MIDI drivers and started with the Korg driver
- Used the Driver Signing Enforcer Overrider

NONE of these work. (And downgrading to Windows 10 is not an option - I have an otherwise completely stable Windows 7 studio setup that I am not planning to change to Windows 10 any time in the future).

I have googled every possible way people have tried to make this work and it isn't yet. I've tried all the pertinent suggestions. I am not an inexperienced computer user (36 years as a system administrator, software engineer / programmer, trainer...) and am perfectly comfortable at the command line in multiple operating systems.

Where I am at now, from a completely fresh start, wipe MIDI devices, wipe registry, uninstall, wipe disk entries - all as above - is that I get as far as it saying it has completed the driver install when double clicking and running through the confirm boxes in DrvTools_1_15_r14.exe

However, when I plug in the ML, Windows installer beavers away and says it successfully has installed the driver. MIDI-OX shows that there is a minilogue. Windows CPL Audio/MIDI devices shows there is a minilogue device.

However, when I then go to configure the ML driver it shows kernel mode driver: N/A and no device.

And, if I try to manually install the driver using the Install MIDI driver entry under the start menu -> Korg -> USB MIDI driver it tries to do it but says it's not properly installed when it's complete.

I'd like this to work.

Someone at Korg: please advise. I waited from March - when I ordered - until July - when it arrived - to get the ML and now I can't save patches using the Librarian.

Thank you in advance.

And, please, gently, can I ask: can whoever at Korg steps in to answer this, please offer something tangible, detailed and not something nebulous like: "reinstall Windows from scratch"; this is a working studio system that isn't about to get completely reconfigured I have tried the obvious due diligence things already as noted above... Thanks!

Korg has a bad software reputation. Look at this !

But who finds the solution...

I FIXED IT!!!!!!

OK. Know what it was?

2 Things:

a.) The Korg installer installs to the wrong place

Instead of installing to Program Files, it installs by default to Program Files (x86). Yep. I changed that and it got further.

b.) I still had to use the dseo driver signer because Windoze 7 64 still didn't recognize the Korg drivers as being signed, but, once done, it all happened!

Of course, prior to doing this, I had rerun the uninstall utility and cleaned the registry again of the existing MIDI driver to be on the safe side.

Now it's working and I can use the Librarian.

Thankful!

KORG - please fix your installer!

I had the same problem, I tried moving program folder to program files (x86) to program files, then I removed previous drivers. I downloaded a dseo and launched test mode. I restarted pc and tried to install from installer64, but still doesn't work. Whould you please tell me the exact process you did because I'm going crazy . Which DSEO you used?
Thanks a lot!!!
