VSPE is intended to help software engineers and developers to create/debug/test applications that use serial ports. If for some reason you prefer not to install Service Pack 1, you can download old VSPE version below which works on unpatched Windows 7 verison: VSPE_0.937.4.747 Description Additional updates: how-to-obtain-and-install-windows-7-sp2.VSPE requires Windows 7 圆4 to have Service Pack 1 + all security updates to be installed.
