At others 3 ISSUE here I not found a solution.
Where is a proper USB LIB package, or not exist ?

[BuxtonCalvin]

Can someone fix this basic install issue. I see the same errors on a 64bit winpro machine with a USB connection to the APC UPS. Very frustrating.

[jimklimov]

Hello, to help investigate, can you please link to the Windows package of NUT you are trying? AFAIK, there were spin-offs to enable Windows builds, last branched from v2.6.5, so about a decade ago. It would be interesting to revive that ability with modern NUT codebase, but contributors may be needed.

I use https://networkupstools.org/download.html#_binary_packages :
Windows (complete port, Beta): Windows MSI installer 2.6.5-6

[BuxtonCalvin]

There is only one link that I'm aware of: https://networkupstools.org/download.html#_binary_packages. If there are other builds, it would be great if you could link to them on the download page.

I not know anything about newer package for windows.

[jimklimov]

Me neither, just wondered if there was an "unaccounted for" effort newer than the 2.6.5-based branch.

Same here. Even messing around with the manual libusb and copying the dlls over doesn't work.
Was trying to follow this guide: https://titanwolf.org/Network/Articles/Article?AID=2ee344ef-6bec-440d-8d1c-d21777ffea12
but couldn't get past the usb search error.

[kramttocs]

Correction: I just failed to follow the instructions fully and missed renaming one of the dlls. Nut-scanner.exe shows it correctly and the service is running successfully.
Haven't tried connecting a client to it yet.

[kramttocs]

upsc.exe is returning an error of: 'Error: Connection failure: Unknown error' and trying WinNut isn't working either so something is still amiss.

Event Viewer is showing a periodic warning message of:

usbhid-ups - libusb_get_report: libusb0-dll:err [control_msg] sending control message failed, win error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.

I'm having the same issue with Windows MSI installer 2.6.5-6:

> C:\Program Files (x86)\NUT\others\wdi-simple.exe

NUT UPS driver installer.
-------------------------

Searching for known UPS...
Found UPS : vendor ID = 764 - Product ID = 501

  USB\VID_0764&PID_0501&REV_0001: Installing driver

An error occured while installing driver.

Hit enter to continue

It does warn that it's a Beta I guess.

Edit: Oh, apparently 2.6.5 is ancient. Why even have that on the Downloads page anymore? It's clearly not a "beta" so much as it is abandoned.

[jimklimov]

During the past months I've revived an effort to merge that old branch made from NUT 2.6.5 with current codebase, with progress covered in issue #5 abd getting more and more drivers built. I did not touch the installer yet, however, so can't comment on it well. More able hands are welcome =)

Thanks for the info @jimklimov, great to hear! Is there any drawback to using nut installed on Windows/Ubuntu via the Windows Subsystem for Linux WSL?

[jimklimov]

Did not try WSL with local-access devices (usb/serial), so no idea if you can pass-through the connections to that VM or how.

A WSL Ubuntu did suffice for me to build NUT (same as for other Linux, no relation to a Windows-binary build). Probably network drivers (snmmp, netxml...) would work and then no quick ideas how to shut down Windows from the Ubuntu session (or if it runs at all until you open a terminal).
