As you can see from that picture you didn't install usb drivers completely..
Update driver from picture (usb to serial) from same location where you started..
Then you can continue with inpa, by the way which version do you have?

Desktop, my computer, right click, properties, advanced, click on "environment variables", look down at system variables and find "path".
Edit path and add ;c:\ediabas\bin at the end of line.
Save apply close and run inpa ipo again.

Yes on both.
Com1 is default, but you can change it to ComXX which also needs to change ediabas.ini and/or obd.ini files.
If it doesn't run on 64bit windows, make dual boot and install winxp should work ..

If you can't run software its useless to do anything more...
To change com port, go properties on that "usb to serial", advanced... and select desired com port from drop down list...
