your port COM5: is identifying as a BLE port (due to the :) either remove the semi-colon and/or add --porttype=serial (or whatever type is connected to COM5)

PS I have never tested on Windows, so have no idea if it will work or not - its really intended for linux systems

Worked for me adding the --porttype=serial option. Thankyou for the prompt response!!!

My main computer is a Debain 12, but unfortunately the USB to serial adapter doesn't want to work on it. I had to rescue this old Windows laptop to check that the problem wasn't in the inverter.

Can you share more details? Is it the permission error or something else?
