Note: In some cases Windows asks for a disk with a specific name when attempting to install the device instead of asking you how to install the driver. In such a case the special uninstall steps are required, so uninstallation will be required before applying the special uninstall steps and attempting to install again. In such cases you may not be able to find "TI USB Firmware Updater" for removal because Windows shows it under "Other Devices" as a "USB Device". Please remove this "USB Device" instead.
