Is this error with IFI Loader common?

[Romeo1351]

I searched the threads and couldn't find a topic like this. I pur in the code I want loaded onto the Vex robot, I plug it all in to download it, and it works fine. The download goes perfectly, everything seems ready to go. But the code I used to have is still in there. It didn't seem to load anything onto the robot. This has already happened on about five attempts to download the code. Does this happen often, and is there something I can do?

Couple of reasons people see this happen, but it usually happens when you aren't really downloading the .hex file you think you are.

I'd double check the location and name of the .hex file IFI_Loader is pointing to.

Check the date on that .hex file to see if it was really updated.

Check the MPLAB settings that override where a build deposits the finished .hex file.

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what the issue was, but it seems to be working now.
