It doesn't work at all because the link from the download button was never archived...
If you have it, publish a new download link please.

On my latest Windows 11, I can't run build.exe (amd64)...

Setup an XP VM and run it from in there, that's how I do it.

Hi,

I just make a nice hack. I get a lot of Arduino nano for 67 Cent from China.

They work under Win10 but not under XP SP3, "Unknown USB device".

I use the Arduino IDE ver. 1.8.9 portable, means no installation.

It has the exotic USB serial VID_0843&PID_5740.

So, I take the win7 driver STM32_vcp_driver.zip from STMicroelectronics which has funny VID_0483&PID_5740.

There I edit just the stmcdc.inf file only at this part

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;            VID/PID Settings
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[DeviceList.NT]
%DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740

[DeviceList.NTamd64]
%DESCRIPTION%=DriverInstall,USB\VID_0843&PID_5740

Right click on this modded stmcdc.inf "install",

and voila, this Arduino nano clone from China works perfect under XP SP3

Hi,

this could be a really interesting nvme driver for XP SP3 also,

https://github.com/techomancer/nvme2k

because it works with scsiport.sys and not storport.sys.

Long time ago I thought about the same idea.

And may be, with this nvme driver there is no need for any "nvme" in Bios,

means old boards can have ALL nvme boot,

because ONLY scsiport drivers can use ntbootdd.sys, build as this nvme driver.

I wrote an own working ntbootdd.sys in 2004 driver for to do ramboot of XP

Yes, I recently tested nvme2k driver 1.0.0.2 in Windows NT 4.0 and it works OK:
