From Jays2Kings: DS4Windows is a portable program that allows you to get the best experience while using a DualShock 4 on your PC. By emulating a Xbox 360 controller, many more games are accessible.

Dec 30, 2015  Whenever I open up DS4 windows and try to download the driver, it just says opening installer for like 3 minutes and then says install failed, please retry. I have retried multiple times and still nothing. Windows 10 installation fails: Unable to load driver. I already tried the following to fix the error: 1.) Move all USB devices to USB 2.0 ports. 2.) Install from a SD-card instead of an USB flash drive. 3.) Disable the Asmedia USB Controller in BIOS. 4.) Download the USB Controller driver from the Asus website and include it in boot.wim using DISM.

How to use:

Extract the 2 programs (DS4Windows and DS4Updater) in the zip wherever you please (My Docs, Program Files). Launch DS4Windows. A windows will pop up showing how to install the driver, if not, go to settings and click 'Controller/Driver Setup'. If you have used SCP's tool in the past, you may need to uninstall the drivers to use the DS4 with bluetooth. Connect the DS4 via a micro usb or through bluetooth (DS4 Device name: 'Wireless Controller') may need to enter pair code: 0000). All should be good to go once you connect the controller, if not restart DS4Windows, or even your computer.

Note: same games work with the DS4 without DS4Windows (however it does use rumble) Games like these can cause double input in menus (ie pressing down on the dpad moves 2 spaces) or the wrong button to do incorrect functions. To solve this, check Hide DS4 in the settings, if you see a warning in the log/text on the bottom, that means you must close said game or client that causes the conflict and reconnect the controller.

Whenever I open up DS4 windows and try to download the driver, it just says opening installer for like 3 minutes and then says install failed, please retry. I have retried multiple times and still nothing. Please help.

Make sure to install Microsoft .NET 4.5 or higher as mentioned in the readme. Doing this fixed it for me.

Framenetwork 4.5 or higher has already been installed. still cant get it to install

I have the identical same problem. Verified with .NET Framework Setup Verification Utility that I have .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.5, 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 Running on fairly recent Windows 10 (never upgraded, clean install)

Ds4 Windows Opening Installer

Seems to be an issue with having to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Runtime I downloaded latest version of ScpToolkit and let it run its prerquisites check (without installing ScpToolkit). After that the driver downloaded and installed without problem.

Turns out all i had to do was restart my computer

Install this app After install, at end you will see a green button that says 'Install Drivers', run it. Once done, restart DS4Windows, controller should show up once you connect via USB or Bluetooth.

go to https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases it's a great solution
