Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windows>64bit>general, others (more info?)

I had USB scanner UMAX Astra 4500.
Hardware info:
USB\VID_0638&PID_0A10&REV_0000
USB\VID_0638&PID_0A10
There is no drivers under Windows 7 64 bit.

I founded some drivers via internet:

1. Windows XP x86 driver v.2.6 http://www.yamada.de/ftp/Astra4500xp26.exe
(inf file inside)
2. Windows Vista x86 driver v2.6. http://www.yamada.de/ftp/A4500wv.zip
(inf file inside)
3. Windows XP x86 driver http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=umax%20astra%204500
(inf file inside)

When I try to install any of this files through Install menu over inf
file I got error: The INF file your selected does not support this
method of installation.

If I try to search driver: Driver -> Update Driver -> Browse for
driver software on your computer (include subfolders) I got: Windows
could not find driver software for you device.

If I try to manually install driver: Driver -> Update Driver -> Let me
pick from a list ... -> Show All devices Next -> Have disk -> Select
Astra4500.inf -> Ok: The folder you specified doesn't contain a
compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a
driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based
systems.

I also request UMAX support, but they told that doesn't support more
this product Sad
How I can install .inf file through troubleshot mode (I know such way
for exe installers: http://www.techspot.com/blog/354/no-windows-7-drivers-yet-try-using-vistas/
?

Thanks a lot.

Interceptor,
x86 drivers can't be installed in any way on x64 systems, not even by
tweaking the inf file.
Something that could work would be to install a Virtual Machine inside
Windows 7 x64, setup an x86 OS inside the VM and install the scanner software
there.

The Astra 4500 is a very old scanner and Umax never produced any 64-bit
drivers.

It is not supported for 64-bit even by Vuescan
http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#umax as it would require a
manufacturer produced WIA driver.

Silverfast http://www.silverfast.com/product/Umax/262/en.html supports
it, but at the price you would do much better buying a new scanner.

May be an error. See the legend.

http://www.silverfast.com/product/Umax/262/en.html

This says no compatibility with vista 32 or 64 bit.
