Error message compiling after re-install

[kcsl]

I've had to replace my PC.

Nice clean build of Windows 10, all fully patched, installed the base version of Positron Compilers Setup - 4.0.0.4-1.1.0.3 followed by the latest corrections Update 4.0.4.7-1.1.2.1.

When I try and compile some code I was previously working on I get an error:
"For the microcontroller device chosen, 'full' Positron8 compiler versions 4.0.4.0 onwards needs to be used, and not just a corrections update to an earlier compiler version".

I uninstalled the update then the full original version and tried both again but still getting the same error message.

What have I forgotten to do?

Regards,
Joe

Hello Joe

Make sure you installed the full Positron compilers installer, and the later paid for "upgrade", not just the free 'corrections' update to an original compile version. It will work with most devices, but newer devices were added to the "upgrade".

The 4.0.0.4 version was the original Positron compilers from 2021 (see the whats new.htm file installed with the compielrs), and there has been an upgrade since. Version 4.0.4.0 was the "upgrade" version that added a lot of new devices, so you will have that file somewhere. It is named: "Positron Upgrade 4.0.4.x-1.1.2.x.exe", where 'x' is the version of teh upgrade that wa purchased at the time, and all future upgrades add the devices as well.

Send me a message with the name of the installer file, and I will tell you what version you have.

The full installer has your ID for a registration, and if that registration is not found by the compiler, it will give the error message.
