After installation, you need to attach the libusb filter to your target device. The package includes a tool called inf-wizard.exe .
The component specifically refers to the Filter Driver and the development files. This is distinct from the standard device driver. The filter driver allows you to "wrap" an existing device driver. This means you can use libusb to communicate with a device that already has a vendor driver installed, without uninstalling that vendor driver. This is incredibly useful for creating companion applications or debugging tools.
You can download the package (often listed as libusb-win32-devel-filter-1.2.6.0.exe ) from the official libusb-win32 release page on SourceForge . Direct Download Link
Version 1.2.6.0 is an older release. Modern Windows development (Windows 10/11) typically favors the driver or the integrated
project, a library that allows Windows applications to communicate with USB devices without needing to write a custom kernel driver.
