<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br></div><div style>I have a bunch of UPSs, most connected to pcs with Linux working 100% with NUT.</div><div style>The only one I have a problem with, is connected to Windows 7 64bit, and I used the straight MSI installed from the website named NUT-Installer-2.6.5-4.msi</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>Took me a while to find a way to get it to work, but it is ugly for now. Just starting up the service results in a NUT not working at all, and I tracked it down to the blazer_ser driver not finding the UPS. Debugging shows some problem with the communication on my serial-usb port. What I have found is, that it doesn't work until I add 4x debug flags. eg: -DDDD</div>
