How to install Terratec DMX 6Fire drivers in Windows 7

Terratec didn’t yet released the DMX 6Fire USB drivers for Windows7, so installing may be a problem.

dmx-6fire-usb-windows7-drivers-notThe provided executable driver for XP/Vista detects operating system and show a window saying that the OS is unsupported.

Although drivers would have to be available, as said on their website, they are not.

What can be done is to run installer in Compatibility mode. Right-click/Properties on it, Compatibility tab, Run in Vista /SP1/SP2 compatibility.
I installed them like this and the only problem I have is that the Volume controls from the Windows Mixer are not controlling the volume, but all the controls from the DMX 6Fire Panel seem to be working.

In the About box of the 6Fire panel, the detected OS is Media Center Edition  (Build 7600). Before the first restart it was showing what I have selected in Compatibility mode (Vista SP2).

    Hi!
    I don´t know if i am too late with this but i found a setup for Win 7!

    It is a beta-version and i could not test it yet (I just ordered the DMX 6fire USB), but i hope it works.
    It was at the german Terratec-site. For some reason the english site does not offer this setup.
    use the link below and hope for the best. Peace to all the musicians…
