--- Comment #6 from Bernhard Übelacker bernhardu@mailbox.org --- I guess my doubts in comment #3 were wrong. It looks like the ezplay driver is not necessary. Normally the applications log file "ProgramData/VSO/Blindwrite/7/Log" contains a line "EZ-Play driver active. Version 8"
With the staging patch included, and the ezplay driver disabled by renaming windows/system32/drivers/ezplay.sys, the logfile has no line about the ezplay driver, but the cd drive is still visible.
