Failed to connect to ST-2000XCM

[chasmiller46]

I am an ASCOM developer and I installed your SBIG ASCOM driver and attempted to connect to my ST-2000XCM in my imaging application. The connection failed. I can see in Device Manager that the camera's USB interface is flagged as Unknown.

Do I need to download any DLL files from SBIG? I only ran your Setup program.

Hello,

No you don't need to download anything else. It looks like the SBIG library didn't find any SBIG usb cameras. That part is out of the driver's control.

Did you install a single version of the driver? Or was it an update? Did you check the camera connection with the SBIG utilities? Just to be sure.

I think the driver had been tested with an ST-2000 before, but I'm not certain as I don't have one.

Thanks.
