BNC is unable to open serial port

Description
I am using BNC v2.12.18 under Windows 10 64-bit. I have configured it to receive an NTRIP stream containing RTCM3 messages from a local caster, and this appears to be working. I now wish to configure BNC to forward the RTCM3 messages to a serial-connected GNSS receiver.
The GNSS receiver is an embedded module (mini-PCIe form factor) which appears in Windows as a virtual serial port (COM49). I have entered the mountpoint, port name and baud rate on the Serial Output tab, but BNC is consistently unable to open the port.
I have confirmed that the baud rate is correct and that the port exists in Device Manager.
I have confirmed that no other application has opened a connection to the port.
I have attached my BNC config file (with my credentials removed), a log file, and two screenshots.
What am I doing wrong?

Dear Mike,
I'm sorry but this is a very special question, which is difficult to solve from remote.
I have no experiences howto use virtual ports on windows. Maybe this helps:

Hi Andrea,
Great to hear this issue has been marked as fixed. Is it possible to obtain a Windows binary of the latest build, or do I need to wait for an official release?

Hi Mike, how did you solve the problem?
I’m having the same issue.
Thanks.

how did you solve the problem?
I used STRSVR instead, which is part of the rtklib distribution and can forward data streams to any serial port, or TCP, UDP, etc. The zip files here contain Windows binaries, including STRSVR.
Looks like BNC still only supports COM1 and COM2.
It's over a month since I created this ticket. Is this product supported?
