HyperTerminal is no longer part of Windows Vista. However you can copy the relevant hyper terminal files from Windows XP to your Windows Vista.
Required.
- Windows XP system
- USB flash drive
Here’s the trick. (Or you can download from here)
- Go to C:\Program Files\Windows NT\
- Copy hypertrm.exe and htrn_jis.dll to your USB flash drive
- Go to C:\Windows\System32\
- Copy hticons.dll and hypertrm.dll to your USB flash drive
- Copy the above files to a folder in your vista machine and double click on hypertrm.exe to launch the Hyper Terminal program.
What each file does.
- hypertrm.exe – Application
- hypertrm.dll – Is a required dll file for hypertrm to run
- hticons.dll – Is the icons
- htrn_jis.dll – I can’t figure out what is this use for. Anyone can help me with this?
Hi,
This is a great fix!
Thanks again,
Sunny

Thanks for the post. I forgot about this Vista omission until I recently moved a computer from XP to Windows 7 and have same problem. Someone else had a similar post for the missing Hyperterminal, but had a typo in the hticons.dll file. (missing the “i”).
To get double click on an ht icon shortcut to your connection to work,
1. Open RegEdit and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\hypertrm.exe\shell\open\command
(or just search for hyperterm.exe).
2. Double click the Default value and remove all the quote marks.
3. Click OK and close RegEdit.
