m-audio win-7

I just figured out a bit of a workaround for it. I too have had ASIO woes under Windows7 Beta and i'm really glad to get this figured out.

Boot up your PC, press f8 during bootup and select the "disable driver signing" option. (That isn't exactly what it's called, i can't remember what it was).

Navigate to your temporary files folder with windows explorer. (Often C:\Users\{USER}\AppData\Local\Temp). Delete all the folders named with curly braces. This will make it easy to find which folders have the extracted driver files.

Right click on the installer, go to "properties". Navigate to the "compatibility" tab, tick "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select "Windows Vista" from the dropdown box. Press OK.

Run the windows vista 64bit SP1 driver installer for the Fast Track USB (Without the Fast Track plugged in). Progress through the installation until it gives you the same old "windows can't install this driver" error message.

Now LEAVE the installer where it is, don't exit the installer.

Check out the temp folders and two new folders (with curly brace names) should have been created. Look around in them for a file titled "M-AudioTaskBarIcon64.exe" which should be two folders deep. Right click on it and select "Run as Administrator".

It should then ask you if you want to install the hardware. Click yes.

The M-Audio taskbar icon should show up in the bottom right (if you have set W7 to show all taskbar icons like i have). Double click on it to bring up the ASIO panel. Plug in your Fast Track USB and after a few seconds, the status should show up as "connected".

I have tested ASIO out in FLStudio8 and it works perfectly. I don't know if it works with other DAWs, but i would assume so.
