I followed the guidelines on
to install my esp-32 board, WEMOS lolin32.
But whenever I try to upload a sketch connected to port COM4, I get the error (and my board is properly connected):
Serial port COM4 Traceback (most recent call last): File "esptool.py", line 2959, in <module> File "esptool.py", line 2952, in _main File "esptool.py", line 2652, in main File "esptool.py", line 222, in __init__ File "site-packages\serial\__init__.py", line 88, in serial_for_url File "site-packages\serial\serialwin32.py", line 62, in open serial.serialutil.SerialException: could not open port 'COM4': WindowsError(5, 'Access is denied.') Failed to execute script esptool the selected serial port Failed to execute script esptool does not exist or your board is not connected

Hi Frank
Are you sure you’re selecting the right COM port?
Also, are you using a good and short USB cable?
Very long USB cables can result in a similar error.
A similar question was posted here: https://rntlab.com/question/the-selected-serial-port-failed-to-execute-script-esptool-2/ can you see if that helps?
Regards,
Sara

Hello,
I changed the port from COM4 to COM12 and it worked. I’m now able to upload sketches to my board, and the errors are gone. Thanks.

Great.
