I totally see the problem, and the fix seams easy. I will try to solve that later today, but I need your help for testing since I don't have a Windows environment (this is the reason why the tool is not officially supported on Windows yet).

I'll be glad to help with any testing.

Windows style port names are now accepted and connected to. Please note that a Windows port name is expected to start with uppercase COM.
