    OK, I originally posted away from my computer. My MCS has the 18F4520_20.hex file in it. I have MCS version 3.0.0.5. Which version do you have?

    I have just tried the 18F2520_20.hex file, and got it to work. (I don't have a 18F4520 to try).

    You should be able to update MCS over the internet. Not sure if that would update your .hex files, but I don't see why not.

    MCS reads from the PBP directory for chips.
    What version of PBP do you have?

    Sounds stupid but maybe you just do not see it???
    Sometimes the chips are not in the order one would think...

    In the drop down box scroll all the way to the bottom and work your way up.

    Dave,
    He's looking for the bootloader .hex file to be programmed into the chip - not the PBP "header files". Unfortunately the MCSP online updating doesn't update the .hex files for the bootloader application so you're stuck with the ones you got on the CD when you bought it. I was promised a new CD when I bought my last PBP update from Mecanique but it never came...

    /Henrik.
