For those who seek to install their NanoDrop 1000 under Windows 10, I have a solution for you:

First, retrieve the installation file (ND1000_3.8.1.exe) from the ThermoFisher website.

Unpack it using for example 7zip (right click -> extract here)

From the unpacked folder "ND1000_3.8.1" run the following setup files

1) ND1000/LVRuntime7/lvruntimeeng71.msi

2) ND1000/NI-VISA 4.4.1/setup.exe

3) ND1000/NanoDrop 1000 V3.8.1.msi

4) 64bitdriver/NanoDrip 1000 64bit Driver.msi

5) Now copy and paste the following text into a file called bosdescriptor.reg

; This file is needed to install NanoDrop 1000 under Windows 10

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\245710020002]

"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=dword:00000001

; End of file

6) add the created .reg file to the windows registry by double clicking it

7) Plug in the device
