What I have found over the years is that whilst Microchip makes excellent
chips, they make pretty dire software.

Did someone say MPLABX?=20

A real pity as it looks to have some really nice features in it - like a
real development environment should be.

Subject: [PIC] Microchip XC8/16 v1.10 install error

I installed the above builds yesterday (I already had v1.00 installed) and=
=20
both installers had the same file copying failure when trying to copy from=
=20
my temp directory the XCLM.conf file to the etc directory.

After attempting to manually copy the file I found that the etc directory=20
is not accessible due to Microchip making it accessible only with 'Special=
=20
User' permissions.

Both compilers worked. After adding my user name and giving myself full=20
permissions to this file, I could open the folder and see that despite the=
=20
installer error message box the file was in fact there.

This file appears to have something to do with the licencing requirements.

So in a nutshell, if you get this error message upon install and you find=20
that you are denied access to this folder in your file explorer, it looks=20
as though it can be ignored.
