See http://libusb.org/wiki/windows_backend Chapter “Driver Installation”. I recommend to use Zadig http://zadig.akeo.ie/ to perform the driver installation. This is required in order for owserver to be able to connect to the USB device. It seems that the command lsusb shows the device also without the driver being installed.
Connect the OW-USB-Adapter and start owserver, owhttp. Then browse to http://localhost:3001/
/opt/owfs/bin/owserver.exe -u -p 3000 /opt/owfs/bin/owhttpd.exe -s 3000 -p 3001 #Read directory /opt/owfs/bin/owdir.exe -s 3000 /
