Attempting to use the CCS C Compiler / IDE with IDC3 programmer. I hit the PROGRAM button in the IDE. Device Programmer window comes up, and a "Browse for Folder" window comes up with the message "Unable to locate 32-bit version of jvm.dll"

Quite perplexing. I am on a 64-bit system ( Windows 7 ) I thought that the CCS compiler/IDE now supports ICD3 ... I don't know what to do from this point on.

I browsed the rest of this forum for similar problems, but the only answer I found was "Get rid of MPLAB X"

obvious thing wiould be to grab a 32bit version of jbm.dll off the web and shove it into your PC, 'somewhere'.....

though a huge read flag is in your post

'can't find 32 bit version of jvm.dll' AND you're running a 64bit version of Windows....

I have NO idea IF you can run the SW and OS as described.....

maybe ask CCS directly? They've always got back to me with answers..

That's the Java Virtual Machine.

The older MPLAB 8.92, installed it for you. MPLAB-X doesn't. CCS support for the ICD3, requires you to have MPLAB installed (it adds the drivers needed for the ICD3). Pull a copy of MPLAB 8.92, install this and add the MPLAB interface module to this, and the ICD3 then works.

You have to remember that the ICD3 is a MicroChip product, so CCS are dependant on you having the MicroChip drivers installed....

Thank you for posting this tip. I need to re-install MPLAB
