Edirol/Roland USB legacy driver hack for Windows 10

[Timo]

Just downloaded the PCR-M50 drivers, the .inf file is "RDIF1027.INF" inside the "pcr_w764d_v100/Files/" folder.

Open RDIF1027.INF with notepad and search for below:

;---------------------------------------------------------------;

[Manufacturer]
%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.1,NTamd64.6.2

;[ControlFlags]
;ExcludeFromSelect=*

[Roland]
;; WindowsVista 64 or Windows XP 64
;; not supported

[Roland.NTamd64.6.1]
;; Windows7
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
;; not supported

;===============================================================;

Looks like the driver is older and was made for Windows 7, not even 8 or 8.1.

You could perhaps try using the same string for Windows 7 and duplicate this for 8, and add an additional clause for 10.

Such as something similar to this:-

;---------------------------------------------------------------;

[Manufacturer]
%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64.6.1,NTamd64.6.2,NTamd64.7

;[ControlFlags]
;ExcludeFromSelect=*

[Roland]
;; WindowsVista 64 or Windows XP 64
;; not supported

[Roland.NTamd64.6.1]
;; Windows7
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

;; Windows8
[Roland.NTamd64.6.2]
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

;; Windows10
[Roland.NTamd64.7]
%RDID0027DeviceDesc%=RDID0027Install, USB\VID_0582&PID_0033 ; PCR

;===============================================================;

(Red shows what I've added).

I cannot guarantee this will work as I'm unfamiliar with the intricacies of Microsoft code, and furthermore don't have a PCR-M50, I cannot test it, it's merely a hunch.
