I need to setup a Hyperterminal VT100 terminal emulation
direct connection on several Win2k OS machines. Currently
these devices donot appear to have the hyperterminal files
(hypertrm.exe & HTRN_JIS.DLL) installed in the C:\Program
Files\Windows NT\ sub-directory. I could not identify an
appropriate component to select in the Windows Component
Wizard (Looking in a Win2k machine that does have
hyperterminal installed). Maybe this the wrong approach
and I must look somewhere else to find and install these
applications??? All help greatly appreciated.

Hi CT,

By default some components, including the Communications application HyperTerminal,
are not displayed in the Add/Remove Programs tools. The following Microsoft
Knowledge Base Article describes a procedure to cause hidden components to be
displayed.

KB223182 - Adding Optional Components to Add/Remove Programs Tool
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=223182

Specifically, to show HyperTerminal the following two lines must be edited as
outlined in KB223182:

AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,HIDE,7
CommApps=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,communic.inf,HIDE,7

After removing HIDE from those two lines in sysoc.inf (and saving the file) you will
be able to find HyperTerminal after you:

Open Control Panel. Click Add/Remove Programs. Click the button: Add/Remove Windows
Components. Select Accessories and Utilities and click the Details button. Select
Communications and click the Details button
