Nice list of upgrade! It's funny I just disable the fuel overrun after hours of investigation on why my blip on downshift did not work, works like a charm now, but I'll be able to enable it again with this update. Will have to wait until spring to test that out, it's winter here.

Need a solution to FTD2XX.DLLis missing issue without real hardware connected. I usually open my file in a desktop PC when im at home doing logs reviews.

You only have to plug in a G4X ECU, it does not need to be powered.

Hello guys,

I have followed the above advice for the .DLL issue, and it is still not working for me. Any further advice?

[Adamw 1,014]

Have you plugged an ecu into the laptop yet?

Hey guys,

Im having the exact issue with the drivers. I have tried using the above fix but the ecu is not showing up on device manager for me to uninstall the old drivers.

same boat for me, I tried installing the pclink g4x on a linx tablet, but I'm getting the dll issue too. I plugged the ecu in (that works great on the computer) and the ecu doesn't pop up in the device manager, so I cannot delete the current driver if there is one. also a brand new win10 install. any clue on the steps to get it working?

[Adamw 1,014]

All you need to do is plug in a ecu.  If it is not showing up in device manager under USB devices when plugged in then I would be suspicious your OTG cable is not working.

[dx4picco 21]

I have plugged, a mouse, a usb key and a keyboard to verify that its working, and that exact cable did work in the past on another linx trablet that runs on a g4+ car as display

[Adamw 1,014]

With the ecu plugged in, do you have anything in device manager in the US Bus controllers like below?

[dx4picco 21]

No, pluging the ECU doesn't trigger anything on the tablet. 

Pluging a USB key triggers a USB mass storage and a mouse gives PS/2 mouse in that list.

Ok, that seems odd.  You might have to use 6.18 for now until our engineers are back from holiday.  I suggest you email tech@linkecu.com so they can get a ticket in the system and escalate it to engineering if they cant help.

Same thing as dx4picco.  Brand new laptop and nothing shows up. Even the 6.18 doesn’t work. The only thing that works is a 2 year old laptop with a much older windows 10 build.

6.18 doesnt even use the direct USB driver.  Do you hear the windows ding dong when you connect the USB cable?  What ECU do you have?  Can you give us a screen shot of windows device manager comport section with the ecu plugged in.
