Error: "System cannot find the file specified." opening port when port number is high ex: "COM15"

[Edgar242]

I have windows 10 and when I try to open serial port "COM15" I got: "System cannot find the file specified."

the issue is solved if I manually changed it to another closer port to COM1 for example: "COM2"

i am using windows 7, if i use the above mentioned method i am getting same error.

CreateFile("\\.\COM2", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,0, NULL);

can anyone help me on this ?

[Edgar242]

CreateFile("\.\COM2", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,0, NULL);

You should do it on this way: CreateFile("\\\\.\\COM2", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,0, NULL);
