Dual C18 Compilers and MPLAB?

[RyanN]

Sounds good, I haven't tried that exactly. I've tried installing MPLAB v7.2 and 8.1 in two different locations and also same with the C18 compiler, I could get nothing to work right even with the libraries located in MPLAB. I'll have to give this a shot tomorrow.

Also... I wonder if v3.2 of the C18 compiler will work... 3.1 disappeared off the website.

Why do you want MPLab 7.2 and 8.1? I've been using MPLab 8.x with c18 2.4 and 3.1 without any issues.

I was having issues opening the workspaces. It may be related to the C18 compiler though.

If I remember correctly, if you open the project(.mcp) it will open fine, but only if you delete the workspace(.mcw) first. The only thing you loose is the window layout you used in 7.x, but whatever you do in 8.x will be saved/loaded correctly in the future.

You should be OK if you have them installed in separate directories, and neither install location is added to your path. You'll have to manually specify the tool locations in MPLab, but that should be fine.
