My sin in MPLAB/ Hitech C's eyes is not to use the default directory 
or drive letter.

For some reason MPLab 8.40 only recognises the Hitech C directory if 
Hitech;  

1) is installed in the 'c' directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\HI-TECH 
Software\PICC\PRO\9.65\bin) and nowhere else.

2. MPLAB is installed in a root folder of whatever drive letter is 
chosen (H:\Microchip\MPLAB IDE)

Previously, I had MPLAB one extra layer down and whilst it worked OK 
with Microchip C and CCS, Hitech it just wouldn't remember it's 
location.

I recall many moons ago, MPLAB didn't like being anywhere but the root 
directory of the root drive. Looks as though it is possible the 
'plugin' for Hitech C has it's path hard coded rather than taking it 
from the actual installation path.

This is annoying, as I try not to install programs on the drive 
containing the OS.
