New in USB Device Tree Viewer 3.7.8 (Mar 30, 2022)
- Bugfix: V3.7.7 did no show a Window when started under XP thru the Windows Explorer (because it passes stdin/out handles, so UsbTreeView thinks it shall silently write a report to stdout)

New in USB Device Tree Viewer 3.7.7 (Feb 13, 2022)
- Workaround: Some ASMedia host controllers fail to deliver their root-hub's symlink by means of IOCTL_USB_GET_ROOT_HUB_NAME. Same problem when requesting the symlink of a standard hub (IOCTL_USB_GET_NODE_CONNECTION_NAME). Both calls may fail with ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED when the ASMedia drivers asmtxhci.sys and asmthub3.sys are used. Both cases are resolved now by devices' parent-child relation.
