    Question Installation Advice Please

    Hi All!
    I just upgraded my computer and need to reinstall all my stuff. I have 4 disks one is white labeled PBP3 Picbasic Pro Compiler, another is Blue, labeled Microcode Studio Plus, another silver/blue, labeled MPLAB IDE V 7.00a, and the forth is Black and labeled Picbasic Pro Compiler Upgrade. Do I need to install all four and in what order? Thanks in advance.

    Best, Ed

    I'd start with PBP, white then blue. It should tell you if the version is required.

    Then run B&W update. Same thing, it should tell you if it's required or not.

    Then Microcode Studio, so you can set in options where you installed PBP.


    Are you sure some are not older PBP 2?

    You can also check on the cd, readme files which version they are. I use a black marker to label my CDs.

    Then I'd check the web sites to know which version of MCSP and MPLAB is compatible with which version of PBP.
    My Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus is a giant paperweight that can't even be used as a boat anchor, cause I'd be fined for polluting our waterways with electronic devices.

    Not as dumb as yesterday, but stupider than tomorrow!

    Doesn't it say on the discs which version they contain? Just install the lates one and be done with it, no need go thru each and every version (if you don't want or need to HAVE) each and every version installed of course.

    Then install MicroCodeStudio and let it find the PBP installation folder.

    Maybe I have created some confusion? Here is what I have and I downloaded the MPLAB IDE 8.92 so I know the 7.00a is old. I think I need to install the black disk?

    Is it a PBP 3 upgrade?

    Browse the CD and check out the Readme file.

    Or just click the setup exe on it and see what it says on the opening screen.

    The only time you need a prior version installed is when applying patches, like going from 2.6A to 2.6C.
    If you want the newest one, then install the newest one (PBP3 is newer than PBP2.6). Install it from the CD or better yet, go to Melabs, download 3.0.9 and install it.

    Thanks!
    You are right I only needed to install the white disk which is PBP3 Gold. The MPLAB IDE was better as a download as the download was much newer!
