install serial driver with fixed port name

10-16-2009

Hello,

our current software installs a serial driver and then figures out which COM
port name was assigned. How can we ensure that a given port name is used?

Thanks, Jan

Since the Mysteriously Unnamed Software is the entity doing the name
assignment, contacting its tech support for this answer would be your next
logical step.
