PCM compiler crash with MPLAB IDE 8.10

[bill123]

Hi,

I just updated my PCM compiler to 4.071, and my MPLAB IDE to 8.10.

This combination causes a fault when compiling, as follows:

“Access violation at address 013380c4. Read of address 013380c4.”

This fault happens the moment the compile is started within the IDE, and is independent of the PIC part selected.

Older PCM compiler versions (I have access to two of the 3.XXX versions) don't do this.

Any ideas?

Post your O/S and service packs.

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have XP in my office here. But I tested it with Win2000 and
it compiled a file with no problems.
1. I downloaded MPLAB v8.10 and installed it.
2. Next, I installed the PCM compiler.
3. Then I downloaded and installed the CCS MPLAB IDE "Plug-in".
This program is available on the CCS download page.
4. Finally, I created a project using the MPLAB "Wizard".

Make sure that you have your CCS license file in the proper directory:

Thanks for the info!

I finally figured this out, for the record. For some reason the CCS install copied the PCH.CRG and PCD.CRG reg files into the newly created PCM directory, as well as PCM.CRG.

Deleting PCD.CRG and PCH.CRG eliminated the problem. I have all 3 compilers on my system, so I think the CCS setup must be getting confused.
