Is the programmer on COM4?

...indicates that the programmer did not respond.

Do you know for a fact the programmer works? Have you used it with other programming tools like AVR Studio or avrdude from the command line?

From the Users Manual...

AVR-ISP500 is USB low cost in-system programmer for AVR microcontrollers. It implements the STK500v2 protocol...

You have it configured to use the wrong protocol.
