V6 doesn't compile any longer

[YNNAD]

Hello,
I have the following problem recently: when I just try to compile to C in flowcode V6: no problem, buth compiling to hex doen't work, so I
can't send no programs to my brainbox bord or other bord.
I work with Window's 8.1, 64 bit.

I already tried with stopping my Norton anti-virus program, also altered the key Ntfsdisable8dot3NameCreation in the register from 2 to 0.
Nothing works so far.
Can you help me.


Here is what compiler message I get.

Hello,

Have you seen this FAQ topic, hopefully it should help you to get up and running again.

Also make sure that your antivirus software has not quarantined the boostc_16F.exe file as the short path problem generally only happens for the AVR compiler.

You could also try a repair via the programs control panel or a complete reinstall of the software to see if this helps.

Hey Ben,
everything is working again.
I did the following:

1.Re-enable 8dot3 in registry (changed de value to 0).
2.Uninstall Flowcode using the Programs Control Panel, but first I renamd the old directory so I didn't lost the licence)
3.Delete flowcode installation directory (Important, do not skip this step).
4.Re-install Flowcode.

The first time I used the program and tried to compile to chip, the program refused : no valid licence key.
So I lost my licence !!!!!!
So I copied the licence key from the renamed directory to the new installed flowcode6 directory.
Now its working fine again.

greetings
