Making a serial port available on Hyper-V VMs

I have been looking for a way to make a serial port available on one of my VMs running on Hyper-V. Hyper-V exposes serial ports as named pipes to the VM. I found this program PipeToCom that runs a service on the VM which creates as many named pipe serial ports as you want.

It can be downloaded here: https://github.com/albertjan/PipeToCom
