CCS, Inc. is pleased to announce its Windows 8.1 compatibility. Below are some tips to consider while using Windows 7, 8 & 8.1:
- No need to troubleshoot compatibility
- Even with User Account Control disabled, you will sometimes need to run the IDE as administrator.
- For example if you change the installation files.
- Note that even though you are the administrator it does not mean the program will run as administrator. You will have to manually select "Run as administrator" yourself.
- To run as administrator simply right-click the Compiler icon on the desktop and select: "Run as administrator"
- Running the installer may also require running as admin.
- It is highly recommended to use the Windows 8.1 default directory structure
- Projects must be saved in a location the compiler has permission to access. Under "My Documents" is best. To locate the project directory that is setup during installation use:
- Windows 7: Start > All Programs > PIC-C > Project Dir
- Windows 8: Start Screen > Search: "Project Dir" > Select top result
- Use "C:Program FilesPICC" on 32-bit systems, or "C:Program Files (x86)PICC" on 64-bit systems for install location
- This will prevent possible problems during usage
