Microcode studio can't find MPASM

[Bruce]

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.

[Bruce]

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.

Select VIEW...COMPILE AND PROGRAM OPTIONS, then the asembler tab. Manually point it to MPASMWIN.EXE. If you are still having problems, you need to manually edit the registry and delete

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MecaniqueUK\MicroCodeSt udioPlus\Assembler

OR

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MecaniqueUK\MicroCodeSt udio\Assembler

if you are using the free version. After that, all should work well from within MCS

[DynamoBen]

I switched to CDLite and it "seems" to work. I get the popup window for MPASM, however it says I have errors.

I have given up on Mircocode Studio since I have the free version and I'm using a 16F88 for this project.
