    install
In summary, the speaker is just starting to learn C++ and is facing a problem with the installation process. They are being asked to install COMM.DRV, which is too expensive for them. They ask if there is an alternative available. The other person questions why a serial communication library is needed for learning C++, and provides a helpful link for accessing the serial port in Windows. The speaker expresses feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of things and praises DDURADO for being knowledgeable. They plan to try a different approach without relying on CD's help.

Um, why do you need a serial communication library if your staring to learn c++?

Maybe this will help you if you need to access the serial port in windows:
