That is really weird.

After a harddisk crash I reinstalled Windows XP + SP2 a few weeks ago,
and installation of my BCF and BCR USB drivers worked exactly as I
described, so I thought I could speak with some authority - frankly I
have no idea what went on in your case, but let's be glad that you
finally managed to get things working.

By the way, I've just discovered a bug in those same Behringer USB
drivers for Windows XP, and developed a workaround in the new BC
Manager version 1.5.0: this bug gave BC Manager (and some of its
users!) a hard time. So all in all it's safe to conclude that these
drivers and their installers aren't completely flawless...

Mark.
