I have purchased a KDS V3 from ebay. For some reason I cannot get the adaptor drivers to load even though I see them on the disc. Has anyone had this issue and found a work around?
Here is the KDS3 CD that I have. It says Windows XP/Vista/7/8 on it but I confirm it installed and runs properly on Windows 10 as well. The version is 3.1.4 so that seems to be a later version than yours. But the key to ordering this is the Kawasaki PN.

Perhaps I've not noticed it on my system. I'll dig a little deeper and see if it's there. I used to have a Windows 7 laptop that I used but when it died and I discovered that the original KDS3 software didn't work on my Win10 laptop I bought the new CDROM. It installed and ran without a problem.The KDS3 tries to install the Microsoft SQL Server onto the computer when it loads. I have no idea what it uses it for. This appears to be the source of all my problems. It works fine on my Windows 7 box, but the Windows 10 box is giving me fits. The Win10 machine does not recognize the driver for some reason. I've spent hours trying to reload the driver files, remove, reinstall, etc. Nothing seems to work.
I just tried the 1802 version with my windows 10 machine. The software did load SQL and I was nervous after your comment, however it worked perfect for me with no driver conflict.The KDS3 tries to install the Microsoft SQL Server onto the computer when it loads.

In theory it should work since bootcamp is a MacOS/Windows dual boot setup. Once you boot into Windows you should be able to install and run the KDS3 software. I've not heard of anyone actually doing it though.Has anybody tried using the KDS system with bootcamp on a mac? If so was it successful?
So the part number does work with Windows 10, with no hiccups?Here is the KDS3 CD that I have. It says Windows XP/Vista/7/8 on it but I confirm it installed and runs properly on Windows 10 as well.
