Why do I get the error "Error: Cannot open WinDriver device" when running the APEX™ 20KE peripheral component interconnect (PCI) development kit application? (PCI development kit)

Environment

Description This problem occurs in version 2.0.0 of the PCI compiler if the driver for the PCI development kit application is not installed correctly. The Kit Application Install shield automatically copies files as follows:
