Still Having Problems
While the above has been found to be a generally reliable means to resolve the RoadRunner device issue there have been a few occasions where for reasons unknown it just seems impossible to get the RoadRunner working as a Native USB device. In these cases the only reasonable option left is to configure the RoadRunner to operate in Virtual COM Port (VCP) mode. Really there is no negative side effect of doing this method.
To configure the RoadRunner in Virtual COM Port mode please see the related article link below.
