[WT-support] WT 4.6 & WIndows 7 Home 64-bit OS(Russian)

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

First, if you have a file named DLPORTIO.DLL in your Win-Test installation
directory, and Windows reports DLPORTIO.DLL cannot be loaded, something is
very wrong.

I don't have access to any 64-bit version of Windows, so I can't do any
testing or installing of InpOut32.dll myself.  N4ZR and others have it
working I think.  The following should work:

   1. Unzip InpOutBinaries_1300.zip to an empty folder
   2. Open the folder
   3. Right click on InstallDriver.exe and select "run as administrator"
   4. Note the default installation directory.  What does it use?  Maybe you
   should specify our Win-Test installation directory, but I'm not sure that it
   matters.
   5. After installation completes, open the installation directory, right
   click on INPOUT32.DLL and *Rename* it DLPORTIO.DLL.  Then right click on
   it and select Properties and verify that the file is really named
   DLPORTIO.DLL, not DLPORTIO.DLL.DLL or similar.

But let us step back for a moment.  You do not need to use DLPORTIO.DLL
unless you want to use a real printer port for CW keying and SO2R control.
It has nothing to do with COM ports.

If all of your COM ports are grayed out, something is wrong.

Did you change Win-Test Properties (right click on Win-Test icon), then
select "Run in XP compatibility mode", and "Run as Administrator"?

Are you using microHAM router any other program to provide virtual COM
ports?

Please describe your hardware.  Real COM ports and Real Printer ports or USB
only with USB-to-Serial adapters, or microHAM box or something else?

Do you want to key CW on a COM port or an LPT port, or do you have a WinKey?

73,
