Thanks a lot. That worked.

It comes with a whole load of crap that you don't actually need to install. A lot of development support and examples.

Yeah, but that's a bit like closing the gate after the horse has bolted.
You still have to download 361MB to get the piddling driver... NONSENSE

Hey I noticed something. On 2.02SP2 or whatever if you held a button down for a few seconds it would pop up a help screen on that button's feature. In 2.04 that seems to be gone? Or is there some other reason that quit working I wonder? It still looks like it is trying to load something the first time but it doesn't work.

So what exactly comes off of there? I was experimenting with this -- when I let the Rigol device get installed as an NI Test instrument the NI tools can find it (yep, even under VirtualBox) but there's no "scope" unless you write something in LabView (and even then it wouldn't really be a real scope). But with the Rigol drivers Ultrascope "sees" it but can't complete the operation to connect (in VirtualBox/XP; in Vista it works except for Data Sheets).
Duh, nevermind its the VISAxxx.DLL file I guess. So interesting that the NI usbtmc driver runs ok in XP on VirtualBox but the Rigol driver does not.

I just reflashed 2.02 and verified that the help messages come back. I wonder if 2.04 is "unreleased" and has no localized help or something? On the other hand, who needs help on a scope? ;-) But I couldn't resist finding out. I didn't see much difference between 2.04 and 2.02 other than "flashability".
