Upon plugging both ends of my newly purchased USB Debug Cable NET20DC into my
host machine, Windows says it needs drivers for both "Ajays USB 2.0 Debug
Cable" devices (there are two sowing up in DevMgr).

So I started WinDbg and initiated kernel debugging over USB. WinDbg then says:

-----------------------------------------------------
Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.11.0001.404 X86
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Using USB2 for debugging
Failed to copy USB device driver inf. Error 0x5.
Waiting to reconnect...
-----------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know where I can find the driver for this cable?

Thanks,

/ Hannes.

start windbg elevated as admin and retry. it can only install drivers when
it is running elevated. once installed you can run windbg normally

For the benefit of everyone else trying to get USB debugging working, this is
what I did:

1. Order the "Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Host-to-Host Debug Device" from
http://www.semiconductorstore.com
2. Plug both USB connectors into the host PC
3. Start WinDbg in elevated mode (run as admin)
4. Start kernel debug in USB mode, it should install drivers necessary
5. Unplug one USB cable and plug it into the target PC
6. In host PC's Device Manager, locate the "Ajays USB 2.0 Debug Cable", and
provide the missing driver for it from [WDK dir]\Debuggers
7. Locate USB "Port 1" on target PC using USBVIEW from the WDK
8. Plug the USB cable into this port
9. Configure target PC for USB debug, using same targetname as in 4) above
10. Reboot the target PC
