This is due to Windows requiring signed drivers. To get Windows to allow installation of the underlying driver package, see #243

You will have to uninstall the unknown device first via Device Manager by right clicking on it and selected Uninstall device. Then go through the steps outlined in the link above to properly install the MSI package.

With 00f1508, installation instructions are now distributed with the binaries.
