All, I am having problem in installing mplab version 4.12.0 and 4.12.12. Here is the log it generates. Why is so? *** Installation Started 11/30/99 14:17 *** Title: MPLAB v4.12.12 Installation Source: C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\MP41212.EXE Could not communicate to the network server, error 3. 302 Moved Temporarily Also, since I am beginner in this PIC area. Is this the only software I need to work on to start with? Does this software generate some jedec/hex/(whatever format) for the eprom programmer to program the chip. best regards, Peter Teng
