There is an installation of it there, so I havent the faintest clue why it thinks there isnt. Has anyone else had this problem?

Check your versions. The full install is for compiler version 2.40 and the update is for compiler version 2.30. You can take an older one up to 2.30, or just install the whole 2.40.

oh ok. I never thought of that. Your right.

Here is what I did.

I uninstalled version 6.30 MPIDE from last year.
I installed MPIDE 7.00 (full install)
I installed new complier (2.40)
During the complier upate I chose:
ADD MPLAB IDE C18 to PATH Varible
UPDATE MPLAB IDE to use this MPLAB c18
UPDATE MBLAB IDE to use this MPLAB Linker

I copied the default code into:
C:/FrcCode
(working from root, old habit, windows long files kills projects sometimes)

I opened MPIDE 7.0
Opened workspace to FrcCode
I edited the the project files:
PROJECT > BUILD OPTIONS... > PROJECT
I added a path to the includes:
C:\mcc18\h
which contains an include #include <adc.h>

Then I hit the debugger...bam...it's running in sim mode...

Hope that helps..

PS: I still don't know what I am doing, yet...but atleast I am trying...

I think if you install the compiler first, then the MPLab 7.0 it will pickup the locations of the compiler and libraries. I didn't have to point MPLab at anything before running it. I did uninstall ALL the previous components (IFI Loader, MPLab and Compiler).

Makes sense. Thanks Sean.

The Microchip Download Link seems to be offline right now!? Anybody else with problems?

I know we are getting the MC18 compiler but while surfing around I found the MC30 compiler. What is the difference between the two? In the readme is says the source is under the GNU licence, were can I get the source for the MC18 or MC30?

I still can't download the new Compiler. Does anybody know a mirror link?
(I go to usfirst.org -> Microchip Software downloads) and get a Site not found Error.

Thanks for the link. That allowed me to download the code. I couldn't open sales.zip though. I tried the suggested password (mpseven) and that didn't work.

Any ideas?

DON'T GET THE MCC30 COMPILER!

Any code you compile with it will be made for another processor (Probably PIC30s). We're using a PIC18, so use the MCC18 compiler.
