I just went through this on a new (to me) Windoze 10-64 machine that I 
wanted to use for logging VHF. All the software installed, checked out, 
but didn't bother to connect to K3. Ended up subbing another computer. 
Tonight, did the troubleshooting after advice from my trusty computer 
guru, who told me exactly this. I downloaded the drivers from FTDI, 
pointed Windoze Update Driver to the folder where they were, hit next, 
and they were installed.

Without that driver, the USB to USB cable for the KPA1500 also didn't work.
