HyperTerminal is a Windows XP application that helps you to connect your computer to other remote computers. This application is also used by NetAdmins to connect their laptops to switches to perform regular maintenance operations. But Windows Vista or Windows 7 do not include this application by default. All the alternatives available are either paid and the free ones are not up to the mark. In this article we will tell you how to install the Windows XP’s HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

First of all you need to get access to a Windows XP machine and copy two files hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe from that system to your target Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine. Alternatively, you can download the files in a zip-package from here. Once you have the zip file, you need to extract the two files from that package to your target system (Windows Vista or Windows 7). CHeck this screenshot below.

Make sure you keep the files hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe in the same folder. Now you can launch the HyperTerminal client by double clicking the hypertrm.exe file. And there you have a fully working HyperTerminal client. This HyperTerminal client functions normally on your Windows Vista or a Windows 7 system as it would on any other Windows XP system. .

thanks man.
i tried copying the files from a desktop i have running xp pro but i couldnt find the files. i was hoping they would be in the programs folder but nah. I ran a search of the entire c drive and still couldnt find any entry for hypertrm.dll or hypertrm.exe
I have however downloaded your link. Thanks a lot for that. I also learnt that free apps like putty could do the same thing for you and have already installed a version 6 of it. Once again, thanks.

Please disregard my last post. i put that up before the download got through. it seems like it couldnt download for some reason. i'v restarted the download a number of times and it just keeps breaking off. M using free download manager. If you could just give me the directory location of the files, i would be very grateful.
Thanks man.

There is no direct location to download these programs as they are free versions.. I tried to google it but can't find any... I use rapidshare.. you can find it on there..
