COM Port List?

[Phil]

We have a 3rd party application wich has a port setting drop down combo box
that usually lists COM1, COM2 COM3 etc, but this is empty on my XP-Embedded
system (SP1 with the latest QFE's loaded).
I have looked at many older newsgroup threads, and have tried to include
less obvious Communication Port related components such as Unimodem and
Beep, but with no luck so far.
TIA
Phil

Phil,

Check if "Session Manager (Windows subsystem)" component is in your image (though, I can hardly image it is not there).

Also, try temporary including "Local Printing" component and see if it helps. If it is, all the COM settings under
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports] are not registered in your runtime.

KM,
I did not have "Session Manager (Windows subsystem)" or ""Local Printing"
and the registry named was indeed empty.
After adding these componenets, it is working as expected.
Thank you _very_ much.
