No COM showing up in ESP8266Flasher

[dhylde17]

Hello
I'm trying to flash but no COM is showing up in the app.
here's what I've done :

• I've tried changing USB cable (half a dozen, i didnt know I had so many sigh)
• I've installed the following drivers for my Windows 10, https://www.silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
• In Windows it is showing up has COM 4
• In the Arduino IDE I can see the COM 4 but not in ESP8266Flasher

Can you help with the issue? Any tips on how to flash?
thanks for the help

Looks like it works if you actually type COM4 in the select box.. (NO gap)
Hope this helps. Its a nice tool otherwise!

• and you have to physically press reset on the board afterwards.. --
