FX3 SDK wdfCoinstaller 1.09 vs 1.11 broken for Windows XP (presumably for Vista too)

[brainstorm]

I purchased a couple of the following FX3 boards:

https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/cyusb3kit-003/

And I'm trying to set it up for Windows XP (don't ask, legacy system test purposes). The whole software stack installed flawlessly, but the driver is giving more trouble.

When I try to install the driver from the SDK, the installation fails because the "cyusb3.inf" points to a "WdfCoInstaller01011.dll" file, while there's only a "WdfCoInstaller01009.dll" available in the driver/bin/wxp/x86 path of the SDK.

Changing the references/names manually on the cyusb3.inf does not help as it keeps asking for the "WdfCoInstaller01011.dll" variant regardless. Could you please advice on how to install those drivers on a Windows XP machine?

Thanks in advance

Thanks @Meghavi !

I accepted this as the solution since I now have the board working... only after fiddling/deleting windows/inf/oem23.inf *AND* not using the FX3 SDK .inf files but the ones from the debug board chip, which is quite counterintuitive :-S

It'd be nice if the actual FX3 SDK gets a proper fix for that, it'd only require a few changes to the wxp .inf files and the accompanying .dlls? Looking forward to a release that includes those fixes 😉

Thanks again anyhow for the speedy response and fix!
