GREASEWEAZLE NOTE:


Software Installation Keir Fraser. Greaseweazle is packaged as a Windows executable, hence there are no extra application components to download or install. Simply download the Greaseweazle host software, unzip, and run it in place from a CMD window.

Greaseweazle uses Microsoft's usbser.sys device driver. The steps to install the driver depend on your Windows OS version. Windows 10: The correct driver is automatically installed. Windows 7 & 8: The driver must be manually installed as follows:

  1. Download and install Zadig
  2. Connect Greaseweazle via USB
  3. Start Zadig
  4. Select "List all devices" from the Options pull-down menu
  5. Select "Greaseweazle" in the dropdown list
  6. Select "USB Serial (CDC)" as the driver
  7. Select "Install driver" or "Replace driver"

From now on Greaseweazle will automatically appear as a COM device (typically COM3). To test correct connection to Greaseweazle hardware:
