Description

While trying to debug an old device on an updated Windows 7 machine, I found that HyperTerminal was no longer available out of the box in Windows 7. To work around this, HyperTerminal can be manually installed on Windows 7 by downloading the HyperTerminal application and DLL and placing them into the right area.

Manually Install HyperTerminal on Windows 7

  1. Download the necessary application and DLL
  2. Make the C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperTerminal\ directory
    • Move hypertrm.exe into the C:\Program Files (x86)\HyperTerminal\ directory
  3. Copy hypertrm.dll into the C:\WINDOWS\system32\ directory

Now just run hypertrm.exe and HyperTerminal is on Windows 7.

Create HyperTerminal Shortcut

If you want to have HyperTerminal on your Start Menu just create a shortcut to hypertrm.exe and put it in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and when you go to Start Menu -> All Programs HyperTerminal will be there.
