Under which operating system were you attempting this install? I went
through this nearly same scenario about a year ago. Palm/USB interface. It
would work under WIN98SE but not any of the NT based versions by MS. The
incompatibility was obscurely documented somewhere and I can't remember if
it was related to the USB interface drivers inability to "assign and
emulate com ports under NT" or something in Palm architecture that was
incompatible. Fortunately for me the company I was working for laid me off
and the computer (which was theirs) with the NT based program was no longer
at my disposal so the problem went away!
