Hi Norm.
I just gave 3,76 version a test drive, but I can't seem to be able to select a device. The device drop down menu does not show any chip not can I write any device there.

Then after trying to insert my chip in that window, it crashed. I have a crash report if you want me to send you.

Be sure the PBP compiler is located in options > PicBasicPro Compiler as FL searches for devices within that directory.

I will add a message for instances when FL doesn't find the devices to prompt for locating the compiler. Also if a device is entered to take some safeguards.

No... clicking inside the dropdown box it says Find PBPx.EXE in Options.

I have installed the PBP in a secondary drive (D:\ ...) as I have an SSD as primary disk.

What FL needs is a setting in options tab "PicBasicPro Compiler". FL needs to know the location of the PBP compiler in order to find the list of devices located there.

Yes I did that, but no joy...

Ioannis, I'm with you, It doesn't work for me either.

OK I am testing FL v3.76 as per Ioannis.
My version of PBP3 is 3.0.8.4

FL > Options > PicBasicPro Compiler on my PC is found at C:\PBP3\PBPX.EXE
FL looks in directory C:\PBP3\DEVICES
In that location it finds the following:
PIC10F202.PBPINC
PIC10F206.PBPINC
PIC10F222.PBPINC
PIC12C508.PBPINC
etc.

What might be different on other PC's or PBP versions other than the users specific choice of PBP3 location?
