Discrepancy in the PICO Toolchain Install Flowcode Help File

There is a confusing discrepancy in the PICO Toolchain Install Flowcode Help File. In the section re. installing MS VS Build Tools the document states: "You must install the full "Windows 10 SDK" package and leave the path as the default value" However, over on the right in the I...

PICO Toolchain Install Advice please

I've been reading through the PICO Toolchain install documentation https://flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Pico_Toolchain and I see the section that indicates if you have Python 3 already installed, as I have for my ESP32 development, then skip the installation of Python 3.9.6 However, my Python...

OK just realised those last settings you quoted are the latest batchfile from Flowcode 11. That doesn't work with the external Microchip directory. I tried that bat file yesterday. When I run the compiler from Flowcode it gives similar errors. The actual output text is:- D:\Downloads>REM DATE: 25\03...
