Problems with removing ver 5 demo
PostPosted: Tue May 10, 2016 5:49 am     Reply with quote
I have now a key for ver 5 however it keeps giving me a flash saying the demo has expired. I have attempted reinstalling a number of times Deleting the folder etc. It appears like the demo is not removed from the registry.

other info:
OP is windows 10, original install was win7

on another aside I also have version 4 compiler. That is now reporting a corrupt crg file, I have copied an original files and they are "corrupt" too

any ideas?

I had trouble removing the CCS vs. 5 demo too. To remove it I had to:

1. Uninstall the demo. Then delete the whole PICC directory structure.
Make sure you don't delete any important source files.

2. Go to the Applications folder and delete the CCSC.ini and PCW.ini files.
In Windows XP, the Applications folder is in this location:
Quote:
cd "c:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\PICC"
(xxx is the name of your computer, chosen by you during Windows installation).
The Applications directory also has copies of your .CRG files. So if they
are out of date for your current installation, they probably only work for
the demo and you should delete them too.

3. Edit the Windows registry and search for, and delete anything from CCS.

That got rid of the whole demo and it took awhile.

You might try steps 1 and 2 first and see if that's sufficient. If not, you'll
have to do steps 1, 2, and 3 (starting over again from step 1).

Thanks very much for that info, I thought it would be a registry issue.

I borrowed a PC from the company I was doing the work for as it was only a bug fix. I don't use PIC's any more for new projects but I will get it working as I am sure I will be asked to do some more legacy work.

Thanks again

Robert
