MPLAB cof file can't be read or written?
PostPosted: Mon Aug 09, 2004 9:31 pm     Reply with quote

I'm using MPLAB 6.6, ICD 2 and PCM 3.18. I'm working with an
16f73. When I compile my code, it compiles but MPLAB comes back
with this error:

"The format of the file C:....\cvision.cof can not be read or written because
its extension was not recognized."

Huh? The extension is .cof. I'm running on Windows 2000 SP2 BTW if
that helps. I've never seen this before, is there some problem with
some chips, MPLAB 6.6 and CCS? Any comments from anyone else
that has seen this before?

thanks,
DLC

Anytime MPLAB can't recognize a file type, first try to run register.bat.

That is the probem!...
There should be two CCS selections there.
There should be one entry like 'CCS C Compiler', and another that says something like 'CCS C compiler for PIC12/16/18'. The second one is the one that must be selected, or you will get the problem being described.

running "register" fixed it.

Well,

That fixed it - But why? Is this just another "feature" of the ubiquitous
Windows system?

thanks all,
DLC
