ParPort not installed on ADV Register Control 3.56

Question

I received a Evaluation board EVAL-ADV7181DEBZ for the ADV7181D and installed the ADV Register Control 3.56 from the FTP site on a virtualBox running Windows XP. The software reported it had been successfully installed. After connecting the USB and ADV Register Control is unable to read the ADV7181 registers. The USB interface is being installed on the XP virtual machine as a "USB Human Interface", so it is able to see the USB interface, but there are no LPT ports available. In the ADV Register Program Configuration, when I select Port>Check Port Address it reports that "ParPort not installed" and there was no message during installation about ParPort being installed. It appears that Parport is not being installed correctly and the LPT ports are not being created. 
 
 Thanks for your help.

Thanks, the ADV7181C_EVAL_NOTE_RevA had instructions to install ADV Register Control 7.0 rather than 3.56. I was able to install version 7.0 and use the scripts from the ADV7181D successfully.)

Hi, 
 Please make sure you are following the instructions in ADV7181C_EVAL_NOTE_RevA.pdf at 6406.ADV7181C_Evaluation_Board_Documents.zip 
 And crosscheck with below attached ADV register control software user guide (Here you can find the Software debugging Procedure), this would provide a information between user interface to perform register-level control of Analog Devices video decoders/encoders.

 Also note that, Try to install a ADV Register Control 3.56 software with &ldquo;Run as administrator&rdquo; option . 
 
 Thanks,
