Hi,

I'm trying to follow the instructions at https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration to get my AT&T iOT kit up and running. The installer is refusing/unable to install the driver.

OS: Windows 10

Filename: mbedWinSerial_16466.exe

After accepting installation for 2 devices from "ARM LLC", mbed (x64) will only produce:

The driver could not be installed

Help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jay

Note: I previously posted this as a "question", but never heard back, and I really do want to be able to get started with this iOT kit I've got!

Hi Jay,

Sorry for the issues you are having and not getting to you sooner, I'm going to look into this and get back to you!

Edit: So i looked into this, this indeed will not work with Windows 10, However its not needed! Windows 10 already has a serial driver for the purposes so should work fine :)

Regards,

Andrea, team mbed
