    9 The Windows backend is now in beta stages. As of 2010.01.13, it should include the main libusb v1.0 features, apart from isochronous transfers (which is a limitation from the WinUSB Microsoft API) and multithreaded application support.[[BR]]

    2323Note that before you can install [http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ TortoiseGit] you need to install [http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ MSysGit] and make sure that, during the installation of MSysGit, when prompted to adjust the PATH environment, you select "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt" (2nd option). Also, in the general settings of [http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ TortoiseGit], the MSysGit path must point to the MSysGit bin directory (eg: C:Program Files (x86)Gitin")

    2727The following development environment are currently supported for libusb 1.0 on Windows: 
    2828  * [http://www.mingw.org MinGW] (32 bit version only, as the 64 bit version oh MinGW still has a bug that impacts libusb). 
    29   * [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualc/default.aspx Microsoft Visual C++ (Visual Studio)], either Express or full version, from version 6.0 (NB: has only been properly tested with VS2008, is and currently missing project files for 6.0). You should be able to produce both win32 and x64 binaries with Visual C++, however x64 executables will require the use of a 64 bit version of [http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ pthread-win32] compiled from their latest CVS source. See the [http://git.libusb.org/?p=libusb-pbatard.git;a=blob_plain;f=README_MSVC.txt README_MSVC.txt] for more details.
