RM48L952: Cannot program my Hercules development kit

Part Number: RM48L952


Hello,

Previously I've used CCS 5.5 and CCS6.1 and could program my Hercules Safety MCU development kit. The thing is that now I'm on a new PC and installed CCS7, but now it won't even find the drivers for the xds100 JTAG on board.

I've tried installing CCS7 and it didn't find the drivers, I tried uninstalling it and then installing it in administrator mode but the same thing happened.

Whenever I try connect to the board with CCS it just halts, and when I try using xds100serial.exe which is located in common/uscif I get a message telling me that there are no xds100 connected to the PC. I know the problem isn't on the board because I've been able to find it on other PCs and I've even programmed a demo application.

When I went to device manager I saw this

I've tried uninstalling and reconnecting the board several times to see if it finds the drivers, but nothing happens.

I went to ccs_base/emulation/drivers/ftdi_drivers and tried installing DPInst64.exe but it tells me that there isn't anything to install. Naturally I opened the command prompt, navigated to the same place I was and I tried running install.bat (normally and as an admin) but this is the message I get.

I need to be able to program my kit, but I just can't...I haven't been able to even find the right drivers.
