    Default What about Vista 64 bit ?

    Has anyone had any luck getting MPLAB to recognise PBP under Vista64 bit ?
    I'm making no progress with it at all
    Setting the compatibility to Win98 stopped MPLAB from loading so I tried XP SP2 and still couldn't see the language pack.

    For anyone interested there is an effective workaround to run 32bit XP apps inside the Vista 64 bit environment. Microsoft has a free Virtual PC download. You can install that and then install XP as a virtual 32 bit OS inside a shell. Microsoft do state that Virtual PC is "unsupported" in Vista Home and Premium but "unsupported" is not the same as "does not work"

    Update: gnash, gnash - the software all works but Virtual PC does not pass thru USB connections and I've got a USB programmer.

    Default Try VMWare

    I believe VMWare supports USB...it did a few versions back.
