Install of "CPS for OpenGD77" could not install driver

No error messages, but the pop-up window for the driver install went away after a while.

At the time Microsoft had decided that the driver to use in "Windows 10 Pro 64-bit" was their driver.

A BAT-file and the corresponding data file solved the problem, when the BAT-file was run as "Administrator", and the BAT-file was in the same folder as the data file.
The files I successfully used, can be fetched from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtvhYLmdq875jSwcZyN ... f?e=PUYkGT
(got them from a Facebook posting, maybe by Kiku).

Maybe the driver install is not run as "Administrator", even when I ran the "CPS install EXE" (version August 18) as "Administrator".

There is no need to take the risks involved with installing files from strangers on social media.

The original files are available from the source here:

The CPS installer also installs the driver.

The CPS installer (august 18) did NOT manage to install the driver. The BAT-file (run as Administrator) did manage to install the driver.
