mControl service takes COM1?

[scruzphreak]

I noticed that the mControl service on WHS takes over my COM1 port.

I have a weather station, and it communicates with the server via RS32. The weather software uses COM.

After installing mControl for WHS, the weather software can't start. It says that the COM port is in use. If I stop the mControl service, then my weather software starts ok. I can then start the mControl service and everything's fine.

Disable the CM11A adapter in mServer.exe.xml file which is enabled by default, then restart the service. This will free your COM1 for the weather station.
