Installing driver: -In this select ‘Install from a list or specific location’. – Select ‘Don’t search ’ ‘Install from disk’ dialog box will appear. Now browse for ‘usbasp.inf’ file. This fill will be located in: binwin-driver. – Browse and select the file and click ‘Open’. Now you should see ‘USBasp’ model list.
Hello,I have undergone a lot of trouble with this and will explain step by step what happened.1. I have ATMEGA128 AVR microcontroller development board purchased from Nex-robotics.2.
I am using AVR Programmer (that uses ATmega8) for burning the program. This requires the driver USBasp3. I have the latest version of USBasp.4. I have a pc and a netbook. I use the netbook for travel. It is HCL ME.5.
When i attatched my programmer in pc (which had windows xp), it asked for add new hardware and I successfully added the driver details and thus my programmer worked very finely and I burnt my programs through Khajama AVR programming software.6. The problem occured when I tried to do the same in windows 7 32 bit that was installed in my netbook.!7.
When I attatched the programmer in widows 7 via usb, it showed that 'installing driver software' and ultimately showed that 'the device driver installed unsuccessfully' and in device manager it showed in the USB list as 'unknown device'.8. I tried to update the driver and gave the location of the USBasp driver folder which I had but to no effect! It showed that the driver is up to date!!9. I next tried to create an.inf file for the USBasp and install, but even that didnt work!!10. Ultimately I am very much upset regarding what to do!I will bless from my heart if anyone help me solve my problem successfully!!I request you all, please try to find a solution for me.
What about install another system, winXP, or install ubuntu with dual boot on your computer??winXP, best compatibility among all MS windows OS.Ubuntu, an user friendly linux distro. Avrdude can also run on linux.Or might be you could try on some live distro. Like slax, I saw avr tool-chain module on their web site.(include ponyprog2000, avrdude.)So all you need it to download the slax, unzip it onto a bootable USB pen drive(Better more than 512 MB), follow the install instructions, download the module,put onto pen drive, and restart your PC with slax pen drive.A live distro is pretty good, so you don't have to do any changes on your Harddrive, no partition problem, no NTFS format issue.
And any changes you made while you use slax,would be saved to the USB pen drive, so when you use it again, all settings will persists. Try going to Device manager and then clicking the top name in devices window (that's your computer name).
Then you can choose Action-Add Legacy Hardware. At this point you just need to point to where your drivers are and USBasp will be usable.I've had similar frustrations with Win 7 from the beginning. Tried even modified drivers and such. The key here is to use drivers that were supplied with your USBasp programmer. Otherwise you might be doing right things to install a driver, but driver may be incompatible.Also, there are a number of USBasp front-end software for programming. Some of these programs may only work with specific programmer, even if they look like they're using same drivers.

Make sure to download the latest and greatest versionif you grab some older versions (say June 07), avrdude may complain about not being able to find libusb0.dll, do a search on your computer for the file, then copy it to C:/Windows/System32 and try again! This is a known bug, hopefully to be fixed soon.Install the softwareThat's it! WinAVR is very simple to install, now lets test it out to make sure we have it installed.Open a command windowNow in the new terminal window type in avrdude you should get this response, which is basically a simple list of what avrdude can do.
