PIC 8bit toolchain nor gecognized

[jan.didden]

Hi,

Moving to a new laptop, installed FC9 succesfully, then downloaded and ran the toolchain for the 8bit PICs.
When trying to compile the project I get the message Toolchain not installed.
I repeated a few times, with FC9 not open during the toolchain install.
Toolchain is installed, when re-installing I get the 'Repair' option.
Yet I still get the error message on Build.
Is there anything specific I need to do to activate the toolchain?

Hello Jan,

Nothing else should be required. Do you have anything that's blocking writes to your registry?

Are you familiar with Regedit? If you are then you can check this location and see if there is data there for the Compiler_pic.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MatrixTSL\Flowcode\Common

Take care not to edit or delete anything else with Regedit as this can mess up your OS.

Here's how mine looks.

Hi Ben, thanks for chiming in.

They are there but not under Common but rather under Common>V9.
I did not change any of the default folder locations during install.

Hi Jan.
\Common\V9 is correct.
What is not correct is the path.
You have got

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Compilers\picv2

Whereas it should be

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Common\Compilers\picv2

If you double-click on Compiler_pic in the right-hand window you can change the path.
What does the path show Global Settings (Via view menu), Locations Tab?
It should match the registry path for pic.
You could also check that the picv2 folder is indeed

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Common\Compilers

just so everything matches.

And if you don't want to edit the registry, you can override the locations of the toolchains in the "locations" tab of Flowcode's "global options" screen.

@Martin yes that should have been obvious to me
Fixed, thanks.
