I have an old QuickCam Messenger, which gets detected from win10 but not fully recognized, thus the cam is not usable. Under the vendor sitehttps:// the removed all drivers for this model.

Under ftp:// I found another archive. Internet research showed that is730enu.exe should be the correct driver package. When I decompress the .exe and do a driver search over the folder the device manager could not find a driver. When I select specific .inf files from the folder Windows said the file is not compatible. It is a USB webcam and I think a generic driver should exist, what can I do.

This camera was designed and released for Windows XP. That's 20 years ago now.

While an updated driver was released for Windows Vista, this was a long time ago and does not support the driver model in Windows 10.

Getting Windows 10 to recognize and communicate with this device will be a matter of luck more than anything else.

I will try the cam at a later time on Linux. I think vendors should provide a generic driver for such devices (we will see how long the manufactured and directly branded China devices will work under Windows). It would help to save the environment.

I was able to install the drivers using the original Logitech CD and manually updating the drivers in Device Manager.

If needed you can download a copy from my Google Drive. I compressed just the driver folder - no other files are needed as you can't run the install executable on Win10 anymore:
