Missing Help File

Hello all,

I'm using CCS PCM V1.32. My help (F11) quit working and I have discovered that I no longer have the CCSC.HLP file in the PICC (or any other) folder. I still have the ccsc.chm file, but that is not what is needed in order to bring up the built-in help. I've looked all over, but can't find a copy of the help file. Could someone please post a copy or point me where to download one?

Thanks!

That's not a compiler version number.

Open a command prompt window and go to the c:\Program Files\PICC
directory. Then run: CCSC +v
What version number does it show ?

Sorry, typo. The version is 4.132.

I don't have the CCS IDE so I can't fully test your problem. I removed
any help files from my c:\Program Files\PICC directory and installed
vs. 4.132. It only installed the ccsc.chm file. But I only have the
command-line compilers.

You could re-install your compiler. If the .hlp file exists, re-installing
will put it back. But make sure you save a copy of your .crg license files
in a safe folder before you do this. Just in case.

One work-around would be to open a window to that directory and then
drag the .chm file onto your desktop while pressing Ctrl-Shift, which will
create a shortcut to it. Then you can click on it and it will bring up the
CCS help.
