Re: Setting up a new computer to program
You can get MPLabv8 as well as the C18v3 compiler (student edition) from the microchip website. Install MPLab, then C18. When C18 asks you about stuff like setting the PATH, or updating the MPLab installation, check all of them, as it will make your life easier. Open the existing project in MPLab, and hit compile. If you're lucky, it will go smoothly and report "Build Successful" - you can go ahead and download.

Otherwise, let us know what MPLab is complaining about, and we'll figure it out from there.
