WINDOWS 7 64 bit Home Premium

The installation runs correctly all the way through, installing the redistributable, then installing the libusb drivers, then opening the one-click window. However, once the one-click window is open, the status text reads as follows:

The package has been prepared.

Operating System: Windows

Heimdall is not installed!!Heimdall is not installed.

Installing drivers

Ready.

and device status shows as connected. Continuing with the initial window still open and attempting to flash the modem fails with the following status text:

The package has been prepared.

Operating System: Windows

Heimdall is not installed!!Heimdall is not installed.

Installing drivers

Ready.Repartition was requested but bootloaders are not to be flashed.

At this point the flash attempt stops. Close one-click window, reboot phone and put back into download mode, run installation jar again. One click window opens (without any of the other install routines) and status text shows:

The package has been prepared.

Operating System: Windows

At this point modem flashes successfully.

WINDOWS XP Home

The installation runs correctly all the way through, installing the redistributable, then installing the libusb drivers, then opening the one-click window. However, once the one-click window is open, the status text reads as follows:

The package has been prepared.

Operating System: Windows

Heimdall is not installed!!Heimdall is not installed.

Installing drivers

Ready.

and device status shows as connected. (So far identical as on Windows 7). Attempting to flash the modem with this window, however, the flash button becomes greyed out, but nothing else happens, and no additional text is added to the status text.

After closing the one-click window and starting the installation jar again results in an exact repeat of the above install routine, as if it is not detecting that anything has been installed. Tried this twice more with the same results each time. Was never able to successfully flash the modem.

SUGGESTIONS:

1) Add an item 5 to the install drivers instruction dialog: If you receive a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver click "Install this driver software anyway". (Applicable to Windows 7 but not XP.)

2) After the driver installation completes and the dialog says installation is complete, clicking OK should close the zadig.exe window and open the one-click window. (Currently you have to close the zadig.exe window manually.)

3) There does not seem to be any way to uninstall the VC++ redistributable. Maybe add a menu item that will open the VC++ repair/uninstall dialog.
