Post by thread:[AVR:] Does AVR Studio 4 even WORK on w98?

So, having acquired 50 tiny11 chips, and built two programmers, I figured it was time to write some software. Figuring it best to start standard, and small, I downloaded a fresh copy of AVR Studio 4, used it's project window to create the project "blink" with blink.asm, pasted in Chetan's test code, saved the file and hit the "build project" button. And it crashed by system (w98se on an Athlon) with pagefault type problems. (I tried several times. Same results.) That's NOT very impressive. Am I missing something obvious? Not that a program should EVER crash like this, but... Does this just not work on W98? Does having WINAVR and/or Avr-studio3 around confuse it? Maybe I've got too many disk partitions? Studio itself and the source code is only out on E:... Grr. BillW -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

Windows 98 is not supported by Microsoft anymore. I would recommend to use AVR Studio on XP or Win2K. Maybe there is a security or reliability hole in win98 that is not pached or won't be patched ever! Virus can also be a possibility.

There are still lots of people that use Win98 even 95 so I make sure my stuff works correctly on these types of machines. I remember reading somewhere that there is a problem with the studio 4 installer on 98 to do with the XML support. Try skipping over to www,avrfreaks.com and doing a search. They also have a AVR studio forum that you could post to, the developers hang out there. Trouble with Win98 is that M$ in their wisdom (Ha!) used to add some important updated to IE updates, so as well as all the usuall OS updates, you are required to update IE to get the most up to date fixes, a big irritation for users that use Mozilla and such and don't trust the M$ software. They seem to of almost learnt there lessons on 2k and XP. Bryan -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?

You may also want to go to http://www.simtel.net and pick up the latest brun or vbrun A lot of packages seem to be developed using M$ visual basic, so it doesn't hurt to pick up the latest brun library since many of these packages need this library dll. The reason I pointed out http://www.simtel.net is because they tend to get a lot of packages sent their way, so instead of each "developer" including it, simtel keeps it seperate so that everyone's zip files are smaller. I think it may be vbrun300.dll or vbrun600.dll On August 7, 2004 01:18 am, BryanW wrote: {Quote hidden}> > That's NOT very impressive. > > > > Am I missing something obvious?

Works well here (Win98SE 233MHz K6) , well as well as it does anywhere else I guess. Still some bugs but it works pretty reliably. There is a problem using ICE200 but it works most of the times. >Does having WINAVR >and/or Avr-studio3 around confuse it? I use both Studio 3.56 and Studio 4.09. Studio 3.56 is for when 4.09 goes on strike for a while so I use the older version. Regards John Samperi ****************************************************** Ampertronics Pty.
