Kovid:

Not sure I know what I'm doing, but this is surely not what you wanted:

Install python 2.5 from http://python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi

Then install the (python win32 extensions) from https://sourceforge.net/project/down...5.exe&12384980

Finally download the attached file to some directory on your computer.

Now open a terminal ad type the following command to start python

c:\Python25\python.exe

Now at the python prompt, with your PRS500 connected, type the following lines, line by line

import wmi, pythoncom
pythoncom.CoInitialize()
w = wmi.WMI()
devices = [c.Dependent.DeviceID.upper() for c in w.USBControllerDevice()]
for d in devices: print d

Sorry for the runaround
And post the output of the print statement
