Installing CCSLoad.exe - Know Where To Put It!

[Bill Havins]

Hello to all!

CCSLoad.exe may be a swell programmer application (the jury's still out...) but if you don't know where to install it it can lead to hours (days?) of frustration!

CCSLoad.exe must be installed in a directory other than where your compiler is installed. After communicating with CCS via email about programmer problems they indicated that the above was a possible fix.

This morning I created a new folder in my Programs file folder and installed CCSLoad.exe there. It now appears to run correctly and I am again able to program PICs using my Mach-X programmer.

I had earlier had CCSLoad.exe in the same folder with my compiler files; it was unable to read my HEX files (it called them "Corrupt") and was unable to read included configuration bits (it read them all as "0").

So far putting CCSLoad.exe in a separate directory seems to work well. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Bill
