After compiling a simple flow, just before the data is send to the PIC, I get an error from PPP.
The message is: "Registry error. Failed to get data for CONFIG8L".
After I click "ok" the program is send to the PIC 16F877A and it runs normally.
The Flowcode V5.0 Pro is installed and registered without problems.
This is a minor issue, but maybe you have a solution for it?
Thanks!

Re: Compile message: Config8L
Hello. This is a cosmetic issue with PPP only and can be ignored.
http://matrixmultimedia.com/mmforums/vi ... G8L#p31974
However, is it possible to save a 'registry hive' on your machine, and somehow get it to Steve? This will help us to track the problem more closely and hopefully offer a fix. To do this, open 'regedit.exe', and select Menu->File->Export... with 'Computer' selected.
I don't know if Steve will need the full hive to find this issue or just the Matrix area (which will be somewhat smaller, I think):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MatrixMM
I will mention this to Steve tomorrow and hopefully he can get back to you and let you know what is needed.
Cheers,
Jonny

Thank you Jonny W.
I have exported the registry items for MM and will try to send it to Steve (if I can find his address).

Sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for the registry info. Can you PM me with the following registry info too:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\matrixmm
Thanks,
Steve.

Hi MJU,
Thanks for sending me the registry files. I have now been able to determine the reason for the message and give a workaround.
The problem is caused by 2 different versions of the PPP programming software sharing the same location for their registry data.
I can offer two workarounds. The first is simply to go into the configuration screen in Flowcode V5 and click "OK" (Build...Project Options...Configure Chip...OK) - this will put the missing information into the registry.
An alternative fix is to change the "config slot" used by Flowcode V5 by editing the Programmer tab of the "Compiler Options" window as shown in this image.

Thank you very much Steve,
Again Matrix keeps it's promise of helping clients in a very fast way.
I will implement your solutions next time I use Flowcode.
I hope reporting this minor problem can solve future users problems.
Cheers!

Hi Steve
I dont get this problem from within flowcode, but I did notice yesterday that I saw it when running the FC5 version of PPP as a standalone program.
But it only does it on my desktop system, not on the laptop, but they are both setup in the same way.
Ive have FC4 and FC4dsPIC installed.
Did look at the compiler options, my first entry is -cs 2 tried changing it to -cs 5 but PPP still gave the error when run on its own.
Anyway, as you have already said, its only a cosmetic error, and i dont need to use ppp on its own very often, so im not going to risk breaking anything else
