PIC Basic Pro Ver 2.47 Can't Do 16F886

[NO2K]

In trying to compile a program originally written for the 16F870, I wanted to compile the program for a 16F886. I get many errors, but the first one is:
Error[132]c:\pbp\16f886.inc:Unknown processor (16F886) Does anyone know what is wrong here??

In theory yes it has to work

* Adds HSER_SPBRGH and HSER2_SPBRGH defines for PIC18Xxxxx.
* Adds minor optimizations for PIC18Xxxxx.
* Increases number of table elements allowed for Lookup and Lookup2 for PIC18Xxxxx.
* Improves accuracy for Nap and Sleep for PIC18Xxxxx.
* Allows temp variable in banks other than 0 for 12-bit core.
* Changes internal bit names to avoid possible conflicts.
* Hides "__CONFIG Deprecated" warning for PIC18Xxxxx.
* Fixes Readcode and Writecode for PIC16F88.
* Fixes Adcin and Dig for 12-bit core.

I would suggest you to reinstall your PBP and double check your version.

Thanks Mr. E. I did also contact melabs, and Charles Leo basically told me the same thing. So am now in the process of uninstalling all the programs (MPLABS 7.2, Pic Basic Pro 2.47, and Microstudio Plus), and reinstall them. Hopefully it will all work!

some day Melabs could hire me
