How to install "devcon" into the windows 8?

[Nate Duong]

Dear Group,

I am trying to install devcon into the windows 8,

when I follow the instruction, everything looks fine, but when I type devcon on the command window, it shows the message "This app can not run on your PC"

I do not know what is going on, and tried to search for more information, people says "devcon" just work for windows 7 not for 8,

You know the devcon function will help to enable/disable USB port. So I am still trying.

If anyone have any ideal to fix that problem or better ideal to enable and disable USB port, please help.

and here is the code for reference:

####################$@echo off rem disable/enable 5 USB com ports rem devcon disable USB\VID_16C0* rem devcon disable "@USB\VID_05E3&PID_0608\6&6A3BB49&0&4" rem devcon disable "@USB\VID_05E3&PID_0608\5&1DF0FBC&0&3" rem ping -w 1000 -n 2 1.1.1.1 >nul rem devcon enable "@USB\VID_05E3&PID_0608\5&1DF0FBC&0&3" rem devcon enable "@USB\VID_05E3&PID_0608\6&6A3BB49&0&4" rem devcon enable USB\VID_16C0* ping -w 1000 -n 2 1.1.1.1 >nul$###########
