Code for usbclerk is available on this git repo:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~agilboa/usbclerk/
Binaries are not available upstream.
To build it you'll need libwdi and windows driver kit.
After building it install/uninstall the service with:
usbclerk.exe install
usbclerk.exe uninstall
Also there is an NSIS installer file that you can build and use.
Alternatively you can install the WinUSB driver for each specific USB device
with other tools (e.g. zadig). Install WinUSB driver before using
usbredir (but
can be done while remote-viewer is running).
Uri.
