Update Axxess Adapter With Win7

I've noticed that a lot of people are having trouble installing the drivers for the Axxess iPod Adapter using Windows7.
I just received my cable and attempted this install on my Win7 machines.
It took a "work-around" but I managed to get it working on both Win7 32-bit and 64-bit.
This is not a DIY for the whole update procedure, there are other postings on that.
This is simply the driver work-around until true Win7 drivers are released.

1) After you've downloaded that WebXXPress Updater and installed the USB BootLoader, plug in the update cable. You'll see a message saying the driver failed to install.

2) Go to the Control Panel and click on 'Hardware and Sound'

3) Under 'Devices and Printers' click on 'Device Manager'

4) Double-click on the 'TTL232R' device

Once you choose the appropriate folder, click 'OK'

13) Double-click "USB Serial Port" and repeat steps 5-11 for this device.
You'll then see the device successfully installed (don't worry about the COM port number... yours might be different)
