0.30 on Vista with GT-120: "Unable to open device COM16"

Asked by Alessandro Valli

I also tried to remap the device on COM1, same result.
I tried to run the CLI and the GUI in XP compatibility mode and as administrator, same result.
I can do tests if you want.

Ok, solved. I don't know how but...

1) Set the port of device to COM2 (no way with COM16 and COM1 on my box, COM3-COM15 not available)
2) Set 'Run as Administrator' on igotu2gpx.exe and igotugui.exe (needed even if my account is admin)
3) Create batches like this:
command /c
del dump.txt
igotu2gpx dump -d serial:2 >dump.txt
pause

("command /c" is necessary)

At first A-trip and the other 2 softwares by Mobile Action didn't find the device anymore, but after some clicking on A-trip they learned the new port and now everything is fine...

Hope this helps someone else.
