listComPorts.exe - Type mismatch 80020005

[pfruh]

I'm having strange COM port disappearing / serial problems with the Arduino 1.5.5-R2 IDE,
while searching for the issue, I manually ran listComPorts.exe and got this error.
#1573 should have already fixed this, but it still seems broken.

It seems to be caused by

dhGetValue(L"%s", &name,  objDevice, L".Name");

The listComPorts.exe is currently disabled (i.e. is not used by the Arduino IDE) because of this bug.

The executable is a leftover, until we found a definitive solution to this problem.

Thanks, so i have to search for the issue somewhere else.

Just in case this helps anybody else:
I ran into the same problem & created a C# executable of listComPorts + some info on how to get this information without an extra executable: https://github.com/dotKokott/listComPorts-csharp
