I came across an issue today when trying to install HyperTerminal on a customer computer. When attempting to install HyperTerminal from Windows Components, the “Communications” option wasn’t visible under “Accessories and Utilities”. Below is a resolution to this.
1) Open up the sysoc.inf file (../windows/inf)
2) Find the CommApps string and remove “HIDE”
Example: CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf, HIDE,7
3) Save the file
4) ReAccess the Windows component installation screen (you should now see the “Communications” option)
You may never need this but I thought I would capture it. Also, other options could be hidden and this resolution will work for these too.
