No choice but to use PBP on 64 bit versions of Windows :(

Hi,
As have been stated PM will not work on work on 64bit systems, you'll have to use MPASM which installs together with MPLAB.

The P16F876A.INC file is (should be) located in ...Microchip\MPASM Suite\ If you can't find the MPASM Suite folder and P16F876.INC file then there's somehing "wrong" with your MPLAB installation. If looking for the file from with MCS Open File dialog, make sure you set the file-filter to display all files as it defaults to .bas & .pbp files making the .INC files not show up.

64 bit compatibillity

To add what the others have said
You need to tell Micro Code Studio where Mpasm is located.
There is a pull down menu on MCS "view". I think it say's compiler/assembler options.
The same place you select PM or MPASM. There are two buttons "find manually" or "auto"
Try auto first it will scan your pc and tell MCS were mpasm and the inc files are
located. After this it will act like your old installation. None of this has to do with
64bit pc.

If you really HAVE TO have it the "old way", you can do it on Windows 7(pro). Go to the Microsoft website. Download and run "Virtual PC". Then download and run "Virtual XP". Once you have those two programs working, you can then load and run PBP, the old way. I've done it, but have since just learned to use MPASM, which works faster.
