After 5 hours trying to get things to work I am at a loss.

And a bit hungry. LOL

I dl and installed mplab and the plugins for pbp. I followed the instructions for setting it all up.

I tried to compile from dos "pbpw -ampasmwin -p16f628" and also from mplab and get the same error "unable to execute mpasm".

I set the path as directed for xp and have rechecked it.

Even though everything I read said do not put mpasm.exe into the pbp directory, I tried it and it then got past unable to execute mpasm.

Now I get about 117 errors starting off with cannot find 16f628.inc file. This file is in the same directory!

Not sure what to try next.

PBP v2.44
MPlab v7.42

Thank you for your help
