Fuses not populating and Access violation error message

[charliem]

Hello John,
 I am running the latest version of the IDE. I have a 16F877a Pic selected as my processor and when I select the Fuse tab the dropdown menu for the fuses is blank and there is a error message. It is attached. Thanks for any help with this. I'm running windows 11.

It seems I am not picking up some of the older devices, I'll look into it and get back to you.

Thanks John.

@charliem I have made a change which should have fixed the issue.
Please try this beta update.
Save the original PositronStudio.exe and replace it with the unzipped file above.
Please let me know if this resolves the problem.

Thanks for the help with this.

That's not what you should have seen.  If you had the full installation of the Compiler you should have seen the fuse settings for the 16F877a.

I have the full installation. what else do I need to do?

Ok I figured this out. It only throws a error message if the device is declared in a include and you just have the include on the main code. If I declare the device directly in the main code it works as expected.

If you had used Project Manager Device would have been recognised when it was defined in an include file.
