I don't have visual studio or even know how it would work. I'm trying to get python easyhid.py https://github.com/ahtn/python-easyhid to work under windows and it seems to require HIDAPI.DLL .. but the dll is not included. I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find a place to just download it. Do I really have to get visual studio, install it, and learn how it even works, to build this DLL myself? can someone PLEASE help me and just tell me where I can download it? It would be extremely helpful. I have been looking for a simple way to obtain this DLL for days now. Trying to get this DLL to use easyhid is making it anything but easy.

Thank you VERY much!! I would have never found it there! I was on the libusb page but they only tell you how to download it from git clone git://github.com/libusb/hidapi.git which only is good for Linux.. it would be nice if they had a link to the windows zip file right under the Linux download instructions! Thanks again!!!
