MPLABX + CCS error when building

I'm really sorry to start a second thread. I install Windows 7 on a virtual machine and I'm running MPLABX + CCS compiler, however I get this error can anyone help or do I have to use only CCS?

it looks like the file 12509.h file doesn't exist in your install of ccsc. Can you verify it is in the install directory of the virtual machne? Are you using the 45 day demo version of the compiler and is it within the 45 days since download?

I usually have to point to the header file in MPLAB, but I did and I get the same error. If anyone has been using MPLAB in the project files there is header, I added the .h file in the header files if this is all than it should be working?

as PCMP points out you've got the wrong header file.
show us your new 'error'..

I think the original poster is missing the point fractionally.
He talks about changing the MPLAB settings, but the fundamental problem is the wrong filename in the source code. Line 3 of his CCS2.x file, has the wrong filename in it. This needs to be corrected.

Header Files
'../../../../../../Program Files/PICC/Devices/12F509.h'

OK, I ain't the brightest light bulb but...
what does this...
I install Windows 7 on a virtual machine
..mean ?

What is a 'virtual machine' ?

Cause I'm sure there's a lot of guys here coding PICs on real PCs with W7.

I worry about something else as well.

CCS2.

I went back to 2002, in my archives, and we were already in 3.094!... The devices list for that doesn't have the 12F509. We are still on 12C509 at that point!...

The compiler sounds as if it may be nearly 20 years old!...

The 12F509, didn't come out till 2005. 3.191, does not have the file for this chip, while 3.221 does. The compiler he has is about 200 compiler versions too old.....

If he wants to use an antique compiler, then he needs to be using a chip of the same era.

One of the late standard MPLAB releases, comes with a copy of PCB, that _is_ late enough to support the chip. Somebody will know which versions this applies to.

The EASY, SIMPLE, FREE way to get CCS to run is to get a PC and dump W98 or XP onto it ! Nobody wants a 2 year old tower, so I get them for free.
I'm currently running a 12 year old PC, XP home and ZERO problems with CCS or MPLAB. This PC is my 'stand alone enginerring' unit, no access to web, NOT needed, though add the Enet cable and it will work.
The point is that it is a very 'lean and clean' setup. NONE of the problems I've seen with others here about 'permissions', cross platform issues, etc.
If you buy a KVM unit you don't need 2 monitors/kbd/mice !
Also I have REAL 'RS232' comports.....

Options, always think of options !

Thank you the advice is good, but not possible. First I'm not in my own country, second nothing is free where I live. Plus I'm in a room provided by the company at the moment, I cant take it with me when I leave!

I appreciate you guiding me through the first MPLAB
steps, I tried some online videos but it didn't work. Thanks to everyone!

Actually, MPLAB, _did_ include a free CCS compiler. It was about five years ago, and was PCB (only did the PIC12's). Point was it was a complete working package, and for the chip you have would get you working....
