As Kim mentioned, check your control panel /hardware and verify that the
virtual com
port has been created.
You can always contact support for further assistance.

Conversation: XSI on a brand new laptop without COM port ?
Subject: Re: XSI on a brand new laptop without COM port ?
I'm telling you, you have to do a COM port install, even with the installer.
The usb-serial adapter does exactly like a serial port emulator, so you have
to install the spm service using that virtual COM port.
I got headaches with that as well. At last I tried to install the license
key and it suddently it worked, no more fatal error.
I think you need the SPM 1252 and up for that.
Cheers
Bernard
