Running NNDK-3.3.7-installer.exe, I got an error message box: “Error reading “setup.ini”. It looks like that is coming from the USB driver installer at C:nburnUSBDriverNburnUSBVCP_installer.exe. I connect the MODM7AE70 to USB, Device Manager shows Netburner Development Kit under Other devices. (and has Device status “The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)”). I found a download for VirtualCommPort-2.3-windows-x64-installer.exe and ran it, but NDK still shows not installed, There is no new COMM port shown in MTTTY, just the ones I had before. My PC is running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, 64 GB.
