Microcode studio can't find MPASM

[DynamoBen]

I'm trying to get MPASM working so I can utilize "Instant Interrupts."

I installed MPLAB, checked "Use MPASM" in Microcode Studio. When I compile it searches for, and then can't find the assembler.

Where am I going wrong here?

BTW: I did make the path change in Environment Variables.

Have you tried the Find Manually button?

[DynamoBen]

I did, I get the same results. It searches for the folder and can't find it. Very odd.

Click View, Compile and Program Options. Select the Assembler tab, then check Use MPASM.

Now click the Find Manually button and select the directory you have MPLAB installed in.

If you have it installed you should be able to locate it in the directory tree that pops up.

OR. Are you saying that even after telling MCS where MPASM is located, it still returns the error?

[DynamoBen]

That is the process I'm following. Everytime I try to compile it does a folder search and can't find the assembler.

I've gone as far is just installing MPASM based on the MELABS instruction set and get the same thing.

I know both are installed and working...not sure why microcode studio is doing this.

[Bruce]

That is an odd one.

Have you verified where MPASMWIN.EXE is installed with Windows explorer, then checked this against the directory shown above the Find buttons on the assembler tab?

Also try disabling Case Sensitivity. Do this on the MPASM assembler window check box & within MCS.

I have the same problem with my Melabs USB programmer, MicroCode Studio searches but won't find it, even when I set it up manually. But it finds the assembler ok.

I ended up moving back to microcode studio. The problem was the software was looking for mpasm.exe. However it should have been looking for mpasmwin.exe. I changed the registry and everything is functioning normally.
