I can't install the VCP Driver from the ST site for my stm32f4-Discovery on Windows Embedded. Is there any Solution or special Driver ?

Hello,

VCP downloadable at

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/development-tools/software-development-tools/stm32-software-development-tools/stm32-utilities/stsw-stm32102.html

. Then 

http://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/products/embedded-software/development-tool-software/stsw-link004.html

v4.0.0 should be sufficient to connect to the board and provide a VCP interface.Regards

Amazing! And how should we connect to STM32 USB in Windows Embedded 7?

I think ST believes you should have in-house competence in the OS you have chosen. Whether that extends to writing drivers from the DDK, or modifying installers or .INF, or getting one's own products through WHQL, etc.
