MicroCodeStudioPlus keeps crashing.

[HenrikOlsson]

I'll certainly give this a try when I'm coding PBP next time. Thanks!

first of all i would like to try the silver edition. But i would also like to try the microcode studio if it is fixed for crashing.

Then, i realized that when i push on the silver version icon in case i would like to buy it (£76.40) : i get the following error.

404 Error: File Not Found

The requested file may no longer exist,
or it may have been moved

Please visit our site: www.crownhill.co.uk
In this site i get a different price, including VAT goes up to: (£117.97 Inc. VAT) = 138.287099 EUR or 146.414091 USD. Not good, not good at all. This way makes plenty of people to look for an alternative method to have the PBP3 and Microcode Plus.

Can anyone explain please?

I can tell you that MCSPX is not "fixed" as there's been no new version for several years. If you're among the lucky ones where it doesn't crash - great. If you're among the ones where it does crash I'm at this point fairly sure you either going to have to live with it or find another IDE.

I've just built myself a new computer, running Windows10, it's going to be interesting to see if it continues to act up.

I don't quite understand what you mean regarding the pricing. Are you saying that you think it's expensive in general or are you saying that the price is different than on some other site? Where does it say £76.40?
Buying directly from MeLabs is $119.95+VAT which puts in the same ballpark figuring 20-25% VAT.

If you want free you can always use the Student edition, 9 supported PICs 12F, 16F and 18F families. Or you can look at the free version of Proton which supports 19 different PICs.

Does it still crash if you run as administrator?

Crashes in admin mode or not... try turning off italics for remarks... that's my latest attempt in circumventing the problem.

Try turning off italics for comments... so far so good here.
