Include File Directory Search order issue

hello,

i don't know if I'm the only one who have this issue, but when I try to add include File Directory Search Order, they are not saved by default even when I check "Make these settings the default for new projects".

I'm using V5.056, on Windows 10 x64, When I go to :
option / project / Include Files
the 2 included files are :
"C:\Program Files\PICC\Exemples\"
"C:\Program Files\PICC\Drivers\"

But on Windows 10, they should be :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PICC\Exemples\"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PICC\Drivers\"
and one is missing :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PICC\Devices\"

I add them manually and check "Make these settings the default for new projects". then "apply"

but when I create a new project after that, it still the wrong directory.

I tried to re-install it but nothing change.

I guess it's a register issue, but I don't know how to solve it.

someone has an idea ?

thanks for your help

regards

You didn't say, but I assume you're using the CCS IDE ?
This sounds like an issue for CCS support. The IDE is not retaining the
preferred directory structure for new projects. Email them.

I've had this problem in the past. now I install in 2 locations one in default location, then install it to my d:\ccs\piccxxxx location. for older projects I never use the latest compiler, unless it will have features / fixes the older one doesn't have.

I think the key here is 'W10'. I think if you are running the IDE 'as standard', it blocks the write to the CCS directory that is meant to store the path. Mine works, if I setup the IDE to 'run as administrator'.

I may have just ran into something related to this using the current 5.091 CCS on a Windows 7 machine. It worked fine on my Win 10 box, but when I had to use Win 7 for a week, I ran into issues with it resolving include files. Interesting. I'll have to do some digging and see if the (x86) is different in mine.
