So, whichever platform shows the error doesn't have a COM4. Your emulator
(and I'm assuming that the emulator is where the exception is raised from)
is probably mapping the PCs COM4 to it's own COM1 or COM2. Try opening one
of those ports. If you're using the emulator from Visual Studio, go to its
configuration dialog ( Tools | Options | Device Tools ) and check the
Hardware tab of the configuration dialog. On mine, that only shows "Serial
Port 1" and "Serial Port 2", which can be mapped to physical ports on the
host PC. It sounds like you'll want to set "Serial Port 1" to COM4, and
open COM1 in the emulator.
