Solution:
A: Ross-Tech does not distribute the driver as a standalone .inf file. It is always bundled with the main VCDS software installer. Download the latest VCDS release from Ross-Tech’s official website, and version 02.10.00 will be installed automatically if your cable requires it.
VCDS USB driver version 02.10.00 is a legacy driver suitable only for older Windows operating systems (XP/7) and older VCDS interfaces. It is not recommended for modern PCs or vehicles beyond ~2015. Upgrading to a current driver and interface is strongly advised. vcds usb driver version 02.10.00
Appendix A – Driver File Details (reference)

If you are seeing this version number while troubleshooting a "Port Status: OK" but "Interface: Not Found!" error, here is what you need to know: Key Details & Troubleshooting Cause: Power-saving settings on USB ports
Context of Version 02.10.00: Users on newer operating systems like Windows 11 have reported this driver version when resolving compatibility issues related to Core Isolation.
Installation: The correct way to get the necessary drivers is to download and run the latest Ross-Tech VCDS installer. The installer automatically places the drivers in the correct directory (usually C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\).
Driver Errors on Windows 11: If you encounter the RT-USB64.SYS load issue, some users have found that disabling Memory Integrity under Core Isolation settings (and then restarting) allows the 02.10.00 driver to load properly. A: Ross-Tech does not distribute the driver as a standalone
Firmware vs. Driver: Ensure you aren't confusing the USB driver with the interface's firmware. Firmware updates for modern interfaces like the HEX-V2 are handled through the "VCI Config" utility within the VCDS software.
Third-Party Software: Standard VCDS drivers do not emulate a COM port. If you need a Virtual COM Port (VCP) for non-Ross-Tech software, you must use the Experimental VCP Driver specifically provided by Ross-Tech, though it is unsupported for VCDS use.
