Topic:   Windows 10 64 bit error: "Invalid Port Number" error code 8002

Hi
I wonder if you can help me please.
I am getting the error in the title.
You can reproduce this error if you run the simple vb project in the samples folder and try to open a valid port.
This is the same error that I get with mscomm control.
MSComm works with 32 bit windows 10 but not 64 bit.
Is this a showstopper or might there be a workaround?
Thank you
Jack

I am so sorry. I was an idiot. I had inadvertently left a minimised copy of hyperterminal open
on the computer i was testing with.
Once I closed that everything worked as expected.
Thanks very much for providing this contol at a very modest cost, I was fearing having to figure some sort of interop with vb.net otherwise.
