Yeah, I can see why. I think that thread is when you want to use MPLAB.

Here's what I do for PBP 2.6:

- install MPLAB.
- install PBP.
- install Microcode Studio.
- in MCS, point to PBP and MPASM.

Unless v3 has a major change in the way things work, the same should work.

Hopefully someone with v3 can chime in.
