Configuring PC to see CE 6.0 usb serial virtual COM port?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi

I'm trying to communicate between the PC and my WinCE 6.0 device using the
USB device as a virtual COM port.

On the CE device, I changed the default USB function client from
Serial_Class to USBSER_Class. On the PC I have not been able to register the
device as a virtual serial com port. I have not written any custom drivers I
just want to support the basic COM port emulation so will the standard
usbser.sys support the WinCE device? If so can someone provide a sample inf
file that will register my device (of course the vendor and product IDs will
be changed to match).

I have been able to communicate with the CE device using a linux PC host
where I force the loading of the usb serial module for the given usb
vendor/product id. Using terminal applications on both device and PC
communication is working.

I'm guessing the Windows host can't be much more complicated but I haven't
been able to put it all together yet.
Help would be appreciated
Marc
