I think it looks for either a comm port DRIVER or HARDWARE. If it run on
NT/W2K, then it is not allowed to touch hardware, only a Win32 interface.
You didn't mention which version of VB it was built on. You might see if
the programmer can change it to open a file called COM1 for read/write.
That tends to work on anything and is much cleaner.

Subject: [SLUG] VB issue under wine
Do any of you run VB stuff under Wine? I have two of these things I have to
run here in the office, and so far I have not had luck getting them going.
I think that it is a serial port issue but I can not figure out what I need
to do in order to correct it, I did find one recommendation that a entry be
made to the system.reg file, which I did but it did not work.
When I run both of them they start up just fine, but when I get to the point
where I select the serial port and then hit the next step button (on one it
is start on the other it is just a 'OK' button which you punch after
selecting or accepting the serial port parameter and port number selection.
The error I get is 8005, I think that the issue is that MSCOMM32.OCX is
looking for a comm port and I need to have something in there to make it
think it is talking to a comm port which then does whatever conversion is
needed to talk to a tty.
Does anyone have any info on this?
