To download the driver, please go to http://www.springcard.com/download/find.php?file=sdd480
Choose either
- sdd480_x86-ba.exe for 32 bits targets (certified and signed for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Seven on i386 core)
- sdd480_x64-ba.exe for 64 bits targets (certified and signed for Windows XP, Vista and Seven on amd64 or intel64 core)
The setup package uncompress the driver in Program Files\SpringCard\SDD480_x86-ba (or Program Files\SpringCard\SDD480_x64-ba depending on the target) and then installs the driver into Windows’ system directory. Of course you must run the setup with administrative priviledges.
The driver will also be available through Windows Update very soon.
A few more details for integrators and developers
Should you need to redistribute this driver with your own software or to recreate a setup package bundled with yours, just copy the uncompressed files and invoke DPInst.exe when you want the installation to take place.
