Hi, i seem to be getting this error no matter what chip I use or code I write. I did not change anything in my settings either. I did a repair type re-install but that did nothing. I have checked to make sure that the file path is there, and it is

Hi,

Have you checked your computers antivirus is not blocking the compiler, sometimes the double extension is blocked by overzealous AV software.

Also, which version of Flowcode 5 are you using? You can go to Help >> About to get the version number. I am assuming it is the PIC variant you are trying to use as well.

David, Hello. I am using version 5.5.0.1. I tried various chips and the same error appears. Also, I have used the pic micros in the past without any trouble. I did disable antivirus but that did not change? Hmmmmmm?

Hello,

It looks the your antivirus may have quarantined some of the Flowcode compiler files. Have a look at your quarantine list and see if any of the Flowcode files are in there.

If all else fails then you should be able to perform a repair installation via the Programs control panel or uninstall and reinstall.

Out of interest what antivirus software are you using?
