Problem with installation of mbed windows serial port driver
Hi.
I just want to install the mbed windows serial port driver from here :
http://mbed.org/handbook/Windows-serial-configuration
When I executed the downloaded file, It said "the driver could no be installed. No Mbed Microcontrollers were found".
but I connected my mbed platforms, LPC11U35_QuickStart Board, with my computer.
So, What should i do?

I don't think the LPC11u35 has a regular serial <> USB connection, normally that is handled by an interface IC, the LPC11u35 lacks this (since it doesn't require one to program itself with its onboard bootloader). Definately something that should be mentioned though, for example as an example program on how to do it instead.
Options are either using a seperate Serial <> USB converter (any mbed board can do it, or you got stuff like FTDI chips which can do it), or you can run the stack on your LPC11u35: https://mbed.org/handbook/USBSerial. That is the nicest way generally, but of course you do have the entire USB stack running.
