dartable and importing images

Anyone out there using darktable (latest stable / Win10) with a Fuji X-T2?
I tried to get this cam connected and to import the images, but darktable doesn’t recognize the cam, neither in tethering nor in USB card mode. I even removed the Windows photo app, which stopped working after the latest Win update. Scan for devices doesn’t help. What am I doing wrong?

Have you followed the driver install instructions for gphoto2 on windows?

No, didn’t know it is necessary, thanks.
