Virtual Floppy Drive 2.1 for Windows 7 64 bit issue

VFD 2.1 is a Floppy Drive emulator with GNU/GPL License.

Original Web: http://sourceforge.net/projects/vfd/

There are written "This is a virtual floppy drive for Windows NT / 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions)" . But when launch it in Windows 7 64bit, it will show the following alert window.

I browse the bug tracker, and using google search.

There are many people had met this issue and not solve it yet.

But I am lucky that get one result can help me to solve this issue.

They provide patched source code and final binary.

Download the binary and overwrite the original file.

Try to launch it again and it is workable in Windows 7 64 bit.

But I am not checking it in 32 bit system.

The following link is original package and fixed package.

If it can't install, using Administrator to launch it.

If it can't start, stop WHQL when starting/rebooting Windows 7 and press F8 to disable WHQL.
