Logitech G5 Laser Mouse Firmware Update v1.1

Logitech has released a firmware update to their recently launched G5 laser mouse, targeted at gamers. This update allows the G5 to track on more surfaces. If your mouse already has the current version 1.1 firmware, the program will say “Found a G5 with Firmware version 1.1” — there is no need to update your mouse. Note: The 64-bit version of Windows XP does not support this update.

I have the same problem. I tried to flash my G5 on two PCs, one with WinXP and the other with Win2000 but it does the same thing as described here. The application waits for the flash port to open but it never happens. When the mouse goes into flash mode Windows installs it as a new USB device with an unknown driver (yellow questionmark).
