Command Line operation ni a BATCH file

Hi All,

I'd like to launch the compiler/assembler and the PICKit3 programmer, all in COMMAND LINE mode, in a DOS batch file.

Unfortunately, I'm getting error messages at compile/assemble time.

According to Melanie's posts, I have programmed my batch file as here (the PICKit part is left out for now):

Path C:\Program Files (x86)\PBP3_1;C:\Program Files (x86)\PBP3_1\temp
PBPX -p16F690 -aMPASMX Blink_16F690.pbp -v

Obviously, my PBP3 compiler's location is "C:\Program Files (x86)\PBP3_1" and the assembler's one is C:\Program Files (x86)\PBP3_1\temp.

Launching the BATCH file, I'll get these messages:

I get 5 "Access violation" errror windows I can clear and at final, everything seems okay = every thing works (I get the HEX file I can send to the PIC).

Any idea how I can make things work the "clean way" please?

Problem solved: just needed to run the BATCH file with administrator's rights.

No, still not solved yet :frown:

When the batch file is launched with admin rights (I made a shortcut file to my batch to be able to launch it with admin rights), all HEX, ASM, etc files are not created?!?!?

I tried to move my batch file in the PBP folder but the problem still perists.

I'm now using MPASMWIN.EXE (even if the assembler's window says "MPASM v5.14") which solved the problem about the warnings.

Now, is there a way, like for Microcode Studio, to close this assembler's windows once done successfully?

I can't find any command line argument doing this for me

try an
echo/ after the mpasm line in your batch file

I got some help from the MP forum and the correct syntax is, for example:

PBPX /aMPASMWIN /oq /v /p16F690 D:\PBP-TEST\Blink_16F690.pbp
