Setting the name of a serial port to "TAMRON TAP-in Console (COMxyz)"

Post by talpa »

Hi
I trying to have the Tamron TAP-in utility talk to a TAMRON TAP-in Console

* The console registers as /dev/ttyACM1 under Linux when I plug it into an USB port
* The /dev/ttyACM1 device is in the dialout group which my user is also a member of
* Wine creates a symlink to the serial device as expected
* The TAP-in utility doesn't seem to be able to find the
* https://sourceforge.net/projects/rs232portlogger/ does not complain when I order it to start monitoring the resulting COM port inside wine

I suspect that it probably tries to open the serial port using its "friendly name" ("TAMRON TAP-in Console (COM5)" on a real windows install) and fails as wine doesn't set any

Is there a way to specify the name of the serial port?
(I have already tried setting a entry in the registry (https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful_Registry_Keys). Using a plain "com1" for the key works fine (updates the symlink), but "test (com1) does not update the symlink in dosdevices/)
