ESP32-CAM uploading error revisted

After many months since I first worked with ESP-CAM module, I tried to upload a code into it. But I got errors. I checked and remembered that I encountered such problem back then which I wrote about in my note Troubleshooting Uploading Problem with ESP32-CAM, ESP32 and ESP8266 NodeMCU

The first part of the problem is the COM port driver for the ESP32-CAM.  In windows OS, from the device manager the error is usually shown as:

PL2303HXA phased out since 2012.

I remembered having solved this problem and I even recorded a video to help me in the future. Below is the video on how I solved this problem. 


From the video I came to know that I needed to change the COM firmware for ESP32-CAM. 

You can download the file from the following links:

After doing this, I was able to upload the code into the ESP32 CAM module.
