I'm using the MBR3 cap sense evaluation kit.  Out of the box, I plug in the mini-USB and the proximity LED won't activate but the Cap touch buttons work fine.  Is my board defective?  Or am I doing something wrong?

I am also unable to load the .NET framework for the EZClick software since my organization prohibits external Windows updates. I would think these basic functionalities would still work even without the EZClick software?

Which firmware is inside your MBR3 KIT?  Some code examples don't configure proximity sensor so it may not work in this situation.

To configure MBR3, besides EZ-Click, users can also use other ways. Refer Section 5 in MBR3 design guide.
