Roland UM4 driver working with Windows 7?

Install a 32-bit driver on 64-bit Windows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
DisableDecoratedModelsRequirement 1 DWORD

DisableDecoratedModelsRequirement registry regedit

Use Device Manager and select inf file folder:

Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options in from the list in the following image

Select Windows XP SP3.

Properties/Compatibility Tab

%MfgName%=Roland,NTamd64

Rename [Roland] to [Roland.NTamd64] :

Isn't that for testing purposes only, according to MS? How safe is this registry edit, and can it potentially cause problems for other drivers/devices? – Karan – 2013-05-25T22:22:04.443

@Karan Of course can cause. But this is the only way to run a 32-bit driver for the 64 bit system. But the missing driver is even less interesting alternative. In some cases it works, sometimes it leads to the collapse of the system. In general, the removal of drivers using a boot CD Windows 7, like a bad version of events)). – STTR – 2013-05-25T22:27:50.093

If that's the case then perhaps the OP would be better off using a VM if possible, or dual-booting with XP. – Karan – 2013-05-25T22:29:04.860

@Karan Well, we can offer as an option to install Windows 7 x32 and patch the kernel so that the system could see 192Gb of RAM. There is a slight negative in violation of the license agreement, but I think this item is nonsense). – STTR – 2013-05-25T22:54:18.833

It's not working even though I follow the instructions from the answer. – Niklas – 2013-05-26T10:36:10.793

@NickRosencrantz The registry key is not there a little bit. Moreover, in your case it will not help you. You instaliruete driver using wizards. The key is to install the driver from the inf file. you need a Application Verifier. Wait instruction. – STTR – 2013-05-26T10:50:41.937

What you've done is something different than @STTR described in his answer. You can see that he has a Setup key with a value DisableDecoratedModelIsRequirement of type DWORD with 1 in it. You have a Setup key with DisableDecoratedModelIsRequirement key (not value) in it, then another DWORD key (DWORD should be value's type) and then 1 value set to 0. – gronostaj – 2013-05-26T11:14:46.160

Delete the DisableDecoratedModelIsRequirement key you've created and open it's parent key (called Setup). Right-click it in the left pane and choose New -> DWORD value, it will appear in the right pane. Rename it to DisableDecoratedModelIsRequirement, double-click it and set to 1. – gronostaj – 2013-05-26T11:25:57.437

Thank you I think I got the registry right but it's still not working. All I want to do is some simple MIDI sequencing, why must nothing be possible? – Niklas – 2013-05-26T11:30:35.667

@NickRosencrantz Alternatively, you can copy the files into directories and create a service that runs driver. In general, try). – STTR – 2013-05-26T12:08:08.620
