[Nut-upsuser] Unable to detect an APC Smart protocol UPS. Windows. APC Smart protocol driver 3.04 (2.6.5-3723:3731M)

[dstrr]

Unfortunately i can not try the latest version - 2.7.1, no binaries available for win32. 
In builds 2.6.1 - 2.6.4 no driver named apcsmart-old, only man page, dedicated to them.
i tried apcsmart from nut 2.6.1 - 2.6.4 with no success.
Thank You.
