Installing Microsoft Fingerprint Reader on Windows 7
According to Microsoft, its Fingerprint Reader will not run on Windows 7.
However according to several sources its possible to have this device running on Windows 7. A guy by the name "blogfeld" posted the steps to install the drivers on Windows 7. Although it works, there's too much that may go wrong, after all they are 10 setps, with three steps involving editing the installer file manually.
I thought poor average user... no luck there.
Anyway, I took the blogfeld's steps and edited the installer file even further in order to do every change properly, and if necessary.
The resulting file is posted below:
Installer for Microsoft Fingerprint Reader for Windows 7.
P.S.: If you have Windows 7 64 bits then, sorry, you're out of luck.
