Fixed COM Port Assignment Guide

This driver includes an evaluation COM Port Assignment Co-Installer for Windows 10 and Windows 11, allowing fixed COM port assignment based on device Hardware IDs (VID/PID) via an external configuration file.
When no configuration file is present, Windows assigns COM ports automatically. The co-installer runs only during device installation and assigned COM ports remain persistent across reboots and reconnections.

Configuration File

The co-installer uses an external INI file:
datalogic_usbcom_cpa.ini
This file is not part of the signed driver package and can be modified without affecting driver certification or digital signatures.

Configuration File Location

C:\Windows\System32\datalogic_usbcom_cpa.ini
If the file is not present, Windows handles COM port assignment automatically.

Configuration Format

Standard Microsoft INI format with one or more mapping sections.

Example

[Mapping.VID05F9PID4204]
HWID=USB\VID_05F9&PID_4204
Ports=COM20
Mode=1

Installation Notes

Create the datalogic_usbcom_cpa.ini file
Copy it to C:\Windows\System32 before driver installation
Install the USB-COM driver
Changes made after installation do not affect existing devices (reinstall required to apply updates)

Logging

A diagnostic log file is generated during installation:
C:\Windows\Temp\comport_devcoinst.log
This log can be used to verify configuration parsing and COM port assignment behavior.

Known Issues

On upgrade scenarios from previous driver versions, some devices may not be recognized correctly and may require removal of the previous installation before reinstalling the driver
