Someone else had the same problem in the forum but the replies of the guy who helped him out were deleted. So i'm going to ask the same again:
"I've installed my USBasp device successfully (I think) using Zadik (tried libusbK and libusb-win32) but a com port is not showing up on my arduino sdk for selection to program the sketch.
Any ideas? Thank you."
It shows up in the device manager but in Arduino IDE i cant add it because it has no COM Port.
Thank you, i hope someone can help me out.
The USB Asp is a USB device, not a COM device, this is normal.
Well, i guess on the other thread they somehow managed to give it a COM port.
I want to burn a bootloader on this thing but as i said the arduino ide needs me to select a COM.
I've seen it on youtube that its possible to use the same device and to give it a COM port..
I'm a complete noob, sry 
if you need some information about something just tell me and i'll provide you with all you guys need.
What happens wyen you conect the USBAsp to your board and select 'upload using programmer'?
making sure you have the correct programmer selected.
Post the error here
What do you exactly mean by
missdrew:

?
I want to use the device to flash the bootloader of my 3d printer. Sry, I'm not very helpful
Not a problem, if you don't want to try it and give me the answer, then good luck, but I'm out. Goodbye.
I would try anything if i would know how to do so 
I've been looking for another way to solve the problem and just found the thing you asked for, i think..
the error code was:
(

)
no idea what that's supposed to mean
The windows APP version has caused some users problems depending on the type of win 10 installation.
The full install version of 1.8.13 might be preferable to you.
