Supported compiler with Proteus VSM; true Windows 7 64 bit compatibility

[jellis00]

1) PicBasic Pro works great with Proteus. I use it almost every day.
2) PicBasic Pro works great with Windows 7-64, that's the OS I use (at work).
3) PicBasic Pro and MPLAB work great on Windows 7-64.

Is there a specific problem you are having?

I use MCSPlus editor, PBPro 2.6c compiler, MPASM assembler, and PICKIT2 programmer. I don't use MPLAB. My programs that were developed on WINXP compile OK on WIN7-64, but they don'e seem to assemble or program on WIN7-64. Any suggestions?

Try running the Setup Utility on this page ...It has an effect on MCS too.
Close MCS and MPLAB before running.

Make sure your MPLAB installation is current. (even though you don't use the MPLAB IDE)

Other than that, please be more specific about what errors you are encountering.

This helped me get it all working under WIN7-64bit. Thanks so much, Darrel!

Looking at MPLAB IDE (which I have never used) caused me to wonder if there is an equivalent to MPLAB SIM that works with PBPRO source code?? I notice from the WEBINAIR at Microchip that MPLAB SIM works with C source code, but no indication of whether you can also use it with PBPRO or not??

Yes you can use it with PBP. No problem at all.
