Re: [Flexradio] Build 55 of vCOM Virtual Serial Port Driver

[Dale Richardson]

Phil, I will make the change you mentioned. How important is it to completely remove the MixW com port emulation? I had reinstalled it during one of my experiments. 73, Dale AA5XE Philip Covington wrote: Dale, You can shorten the line in the inf file to read: [SourceDisksFiles.x86] vCOM.sys=0 but it should make no difference in the installation of the driver. After you uninstall the Unknown devices in Device Manager please describe exactly the steps you are doing to install the driver. I did not change the inf file for a few builds now. I am unable to reproduce the problem on WXP or W2K here. Maybe I am not using the same steps you are using? Also, take a look at the latest pictures on my webpage. After uninstalling everything and rebooting, open regedit and look under those keys shown to make sure there is nothing in the registry under those keys before you try to install the driver. 73 de Phil N8VB On 5/22/05, Dale Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Phil, Sorry, still no go. Still same problem. I noticed in the N8VBvCOM.inf file the following: [SourceDisksFiles.x86] vCOM.sys=0,riverDev\N8VB_VCOMDriver\objfre_wxp_x86\i386 When I try to install the program comes up with riverDev folder in the path but there is no riverDev folder anywhere. Even when getting the correct path to vCOM.sys I still end up with the same problem as before, no drivers get loaded and everything is unknown in Device Manager. Also I am getting the following Windows error when the system reboots after installation: Error Signature: BCCode : 1000007e BCP1 : C0000005 BCP2 : B9FE901F BCP3 : BAA87C98 BCP4 : BAA87994 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1 When the new hardware wizard comes up and I go to the .inf file I get the same results in the installation. I will keep playing with it. 73, Dale AA5XE Philip Covington wrote: Hi Dale, Sorry I took so long to respond. I was out most of the weekend on a work related problem. First, go into device manager and right click on all of the unknown devices and select Uninstall. If the driver shows up under Multiport Serial Drivers right click there and select uninstall. Then reboot your system. After the reboot go back and make sure there is nothing under unknown devices or under Mutiport Serial devices. Run install.bat and when it wants to know the location of the vcom.sys file navigate to the checked or free build folder and select it. Make sure that it is actually asking for the location of the vcom.sys file and not the inf file. Usually if the found new hardware wizard comes up it will be asking you to point to the inf file not the vcom.sys file. The inf file's location is not in the same folder as the vcom.sys file. 73 de Phil N8VB On 5/22/05, Dale Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Philip Covington wrote: Hi all, Build 55 of the vCOM virtual serial port driver has been released. A few changes were made to make it work with OmniRig which is a freeware rig control engine that is used with applications such as BandMaster for CAT control of radios. http://www.philcovington.com/SDR.html 73 de Phil N8VB _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Hi Phil, I am having trouble with build 55. It is identified in Device Manager as unknown device 2 times. Checking under properties, general, it tells me Code 28, The drivers for this device are not installed. Under Driver Details it tells me that nothing has been loaded. I do not get the location of vCom.sys. It seems to work ok but not like build 50. I am using WinXP Professional. I removed build 50, installed 55 using install.bat and when the computer restarted it told me I had new hardware, multiport serial driver, and the install screen came up. I tried installing it again using windows but it can't find vCom.sys. I get to I386 and it won't open. What am I doing wrong? 73, Dale AA5XE
