Yes, but the driver is supposed to be installed along with AVR Studio so
it shouldn't need to hunt very far for it.

Part of the driver's function is to set information so that Windows and
AVR Studio can recognize what the board is.  AVR Studio then installs
firmware into the Dragon itself.

Come to think of it, I'm wondering if your Dragon has any firmware
installed, if it's never been connected to an AVR Studio before.  Guess
it must come from the factory with something...
