[Elecraft] KX2 Serial Adapter Driver?

[Rick Tavan]

In the past I've been able to connect my KX2 to a VMware Win 7 computer
using an Elecraft-supplied USB-Serial adapter, the kind with a 3/4" x 2"
USB plug and a 1/8" TRS plug that goes to the ACC socket on the KX2. But I
hadn't used it for a while and now the Device Manager reports no driver
installed, probably due to an intervening OS update but I don't really know
that. Searching the machine and the galaxy for a suitable driver returns
(after about 10 minutes) a pop-up that says "Windows encountered a problem
... attempted to install ... timeout period expired." Any advice?

Thanks & 73,
