Well, ain't that a kick in the pants... Yes, I'm still here and I missed your posting in April (4/5 happens to be my birthday). I just found it because I lost my hard drive and have recovered and reintstalled everything and now I'm having the *same* Path Setting to PILRC error msg. So I was searching my archives and found your message! I guess I must have figured it out on my own back in Feb, but now I can't remember what I must have done! I've just checked and I do have a "pilrc.exe" in the /bin/support.... folder. Any other Ideas? It is odd that I would see this twice (given that I am now working on a fresh, clean OS install) and apparently no one else has the issue.

What SHOULD >my path variable include? (if that is indeed the way to get the pilrc >compiler to launch..) This shouldn't be a PATH problem. The CWV9 PilRC command-line adapter looks for a copy of PILRC.EXE in CW's bin/plugins/support/Palm_OS folder. If it can't find it, I would assume it would give this error. I've only got one idea as to what could be happening; the total path to that folder may be too long after adding in the location to your V9 installation directory. If you're still out there, did you ever figure out what's happening? BTW, if you see odd behavior like this, please let Metrowerks tech support know. I can't monitor things all the time, but going through them insures that questions will be tracked, logged, and sent to the right people. Our TS people get paid to efficiently answer and route questions; I just do this cause I like developers. :) -- Ben Combee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CodeWarrior for Palm OS technical lead Palm OS programming help @ www.palmoswerks.com -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
