Compiler Quick Start Guide for Windows Users
Windows users who wish to perform the standard installation should
follow this procedure. For DOS installations or custom installations,
follow the instructions found in the manual or the readme file on the
product CD
Compiler and MicroCode Studio Installation
Insert the Compiler CD into the CDROM drive on your computer. The
installation program should start automatically. If it doesn't,
click Start > Run > Browse, navigate to the CD and run the setup
program (setup.exe).
Answer the prompts or click Next to accept the default values.
The compiler will install first, then you will be asked if you want to
install MicroCode Studio and/or MPLAB.
It is recommended that you use MicroCode studio to edit your
programs. Select it with the checkbox to start its install program
after you finish with the compiler installation.
MPLAB is an optional development environment from Microchip. It
includes the MPASMWIN assembler, which is required if you wish to use
PICBASIC PRO for the PIC18 series microcontroller. (MicroCode Studio
will find MPASMWIN automatically if MPLAB is installed.) It is not
recommended that you use MPLAB with the standard PICBASIC Compiler.
