I tried simply disabling the OK button but I didn't success.
I think it's not worth spend lot of time working on this as is a very specific case: there must be no serial port on the system and no last_port in the configuration.
Nevertheless we have to solve it.

ok Marco, it's windows but you can do it ... you can do it ... you can do it ...

In this patch the simpliest solution: just display an empty list, should user try to download it gets reasonable error and an empty port is saved in config (which is safe).

Marco,

I don't see where this does anything differently under my Windows 7 than it did before you got started on this quest. If I unplug my programming cable and then launch CHIRP, when I go to Radio => Download From Radio, CHIRP still shows and lists the COM port that was available before the cable was removed. If I continue, I do get a "could not open COMx: [Error 2] The system could not find the file specified". Was this your goal?
