PBP and MPLab IDE

This is my first time using MCUs at all and I read that PIC were fairly easy to use. So I got MPLab and started playing around, followed the tutorials, which I completed.

I decided I wanted to write in a higher level language closer to C, so I decided to try PBP. I can't even complete the demo program it provides in the manual. I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong here, but I have no idea what and I've looked around quite a bit, rather unsuccessfully.

So here is what I have:

I'm using MPLab 8.00
I created a project with PBP as my language toolsuite. I copy and pasted this file(the provided example file). Saved it as basic file, added it as source file and hit build.

' Example program from manual to blink an LED connected to PORTB.0 about once a second

loop: High PORTB.0 ' Turn on LED connected to PORTB.0
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds

Low PORTB.0 ' Turn off LED connected to PORTB.0
Pause 500 ' Delay for .5 seconds

Goto loop ' Go back to loop and blink LED forever
End


And I get this:

Executing: "C:\PBP\PBPW.EXE" -p18F452 -ampasmwin -oq -z "C:\PBP\Test.BAS"
PICBASIC PRO(TM) Compiler 2.50a, (c) 1998, 2007 microEngineering Labs, Inc.

ERROR: Unable to execute mpasmwin.BUILD FAILED



I think for some reason it cant find the assembler, I have the assembler defined, see here:

What I need to know is if there is a way/how to Check my path defined under the configuration for the PBP tool set.

In the language tool suite you need to select the PicBasicPro option. Not MPASM.

Missread your question.

Goto program files in the Microchip directory and look for the MPASM Suite.

Make sure that both
C:\PBP
AND
C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPASM Suite

are listed in Windows System Variable>>Path ... and it has to work. You may need to reboot your computer before using it.

Trying that now.

I can use PBP from the command line(I'd really prefer to use IDE), but it uses the PM assembler and if I try to make it use MPASM it gives an error.

EDIT:

I added it to the path and it works, thanks.
