Installing Flowcode Ver 8 on a new Laptop.

[billduck]

I had do do so because of hardware problems on an old laptop. So I need to know how to do so. I am running Flowcode, but my install does not know which components I have paid for. The message when I compile to chip is "AVR Toolchain is not installed. Visit http://matrixtsl.com/flowcode to download".
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bill,
Have you installed the AVR tool chain?

See https://www.matrixtsl.com/flowcode/download/

That appears to have worked. As usual, thank you Martin.
I am surrprized that on the newer laptop and operating system
that when I choose Build / Project options that the dialog is different
in terms of identifyong the port where the UNO resides. See the image attached.

Hello,
I have also the problem with the toolchain error.
I use Flowcode v8.2.2.15 and the pic8 toolchain picv2 - does this match?
Flowcode and toolchain uninstalled via regedit all entries deleted.
Flowcode new installed without starting Flowcode then toolcain installed (with and without common directory)
... the same toolchain error occures.

Should be an entry by $(compilerpic)?

The above solution by Martin worked for me.

Hi Gerhard,
This is from my compiler options:

The install for the v2 of the PIC8 toolchain was implemented to work for v9 of Flowcode. For v8, you should use the v1 of the toolchain. The download for this is available in the Flowcode v8 section of your account page (https://www.flowcode.co.uk/accounts/)

If you are comfortable with manipulating the Windows registry, you could potentially change some values to 'point' Flowcode v8 at the location of the v2 install (it is the "Compiler_pic" entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MatrixTSL\Flowcode\Common), but v8 was designed to use the v1 of the toolchain and so that is what is recommended.

Hi Martin,
thanks for the hardcopy with the compiler options.
It helps to compare.

Hi Steve,
thanks for your help.
It works with the PIC8 toolchain v1
