#48243 Has anyone experienced working with this particular ESP-11 Shield?

I want to upload the code to the ESP-11 directly without requiring an Arduino Board and by using the Arduino IDE.
I don't know which board to select in the Arduino IDE. Furthermore, do I need to use DTR and RTS of the USB-TTL connector?

Here's what I did:
I tried uploading using the "Generic ESP8266 Module" and it returns this error:
error: Failed to open COM4
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
I tried using other boards as well such as ESPDuino (ESP-13 Module) and NodeMCU 1.0 but it returns the same error. I had connected a 6V Power supply through the Shield's external 5-7 Volts supply. I didn't try other "Programmer", I used the default one which is "AVRISP mkII".

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
