V9 Compiler no longer working

Last week all was OK. Today it does not compile. I removed FC9 and re-installed - still no luck.
I was using MPLAB 5.35 and now have installed 5.45. It says PIC toolchain not installed, even after I ran the install program (Flowcode_Compiler_PICv2).
Attached is a printout of my compiler options. I am at a loss to figure what is wrong. Thanks.

Hello,
Is it saying PIC toolchain not installed or PIC16 toolchain not installed? Have you selected the correct target device in the project options.
Please note a PIC16F device is a PIC device and not a PIC16 device. With the naming it's all very confusing.
PIC = PIC10, PIC12, PIC16, PIC18
PIC16 = PIC24, dsPIC30, dsPIC33
If you have the correct device selected in the project options then the next port of call will be the View -> Global settings -> Locations Tab. Check that the path entry for the compiler looks to be correct.

Thanks Ben, it's now working. I found that somehow the compiler options had switched - during a Win 10 update maybe?
I'm using a PIC18F4620 which is an 8-bit device which needs the 8-bit toolchain as you stated. I had to remove the -L in the PICkit 3 programming window as it was causing an error. Very happy all is working again.
