I installed the ScanTool.Net 113 on my Windows 8 tablet and started it but I have no ELM interface yet. Error message "interface was not found" appeared with an ok button, but there is no action when I click OK.
I downloaded the source code but I see no project file. I tried opening some c files in my VS2008 and I found the error string; I thought I might try and fix it, if I can follow the code, but I cannot run the code- no compile or run button is active in the IDE.
I simply opened all the c files, because no project file is apparent.
Has anyone come across this error situation?
Am I missing something in the source files? How should I work with this project?
Is anyone still working on this project?
Thanks.

Update: I now have an ELM327 Bluetooth interface, bought from interfuse in Wisconsin.(Although up to now I cannot get the ELM adapter to read the ECU of my car when using some other OBD2 programs.)
The program typically starts up and shows the message-box asking if I want to set the COM port but the buttons did not respond when I tapped them, so I thought it was a bug and had to kill the app from task manager.
HOWEVER.... I just discovered if I pop up the virtual keyboard the enter key operates the buttons and I can move left and right with arrow keys; but that's all I can do with this simple virtual keyboard.
So the problem is clearly that the ScanTool app does not recognise touch screen events. These touch screens are new to me and I just assumed they worked like a mouse and the OS looks after it.
Does anyone in the community know about this? Should a touch-screen work with any program or do you have to handle touch-screen events in apps separately to mouse events?
If the latter, I wouldn't mind giving it a go to make this program handle touch-screens if someone will help me to get the source code running/ set the environment.
(I have VS2008)
