Use Microsoft Hyper-terminal within Vista
26. July 2008 by Myke.
Curse you Microsoft developers, developers, developers…developers, developers, developers. Sorry that was my best Steve Ballmer impression. 
Okay, so we received an email from an associate of ours wanting to know what happened to Hyper-terminal in Vista. Simple answer, Microsoft got rid of it. So what are your options? Well, you can always use Putty since it is free or you can trick Vista into using Hyper-terminal again.
Just extract two files hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe. You can put them anywhere on the disk, no installation required. All you need is an XP disk or a machine with XP and you can copy it and then load it onto a Vista machine. Then just run hypertrm.exe, all done.
