Hello, i have a problem. When selecting the debug option (in CCS IDE), picking MPLABX and PICKIT3, it says to find mplab_ide. I point it to my install of MPLABX in C:/... Then it says it cant find it.
Even if i point it to C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLABX\v5.10\mplab_platform\bin
It still says not found. While i can see the exe with the same name in that exact folder. What should i do?
MPLABX unopened, just installed ver. 5.10
CCS ver. 5.074 |

But i want to use the debug option in CCS C IDE, not in MPLABX.
In the pdf it doesnt say anything about CCS debugging |

The only reason it will be trying to talk to MPLAB-X, is if you have selected a
MicroChip debugger. The CCS IDE can't drive these. Instead it uses the
MicroChip driver to talk to them. There are six options:
MPLAB-X ICD3
MPLAB-X PKOB
MPLAB-X Pickit3
MPLAB-X Real-ICE
MPLAB ICD2
MPLAB ICD3
Now (honestly), if you want to use the ICD2 or the ICD3, I'd say
load MPLAB, rather than MPLAB-X, and use the options for this. If you
need one of the other MicroChip tools then you have to load MPLAB-X.
So if you are using a MicroChip debugger tool, you have to load either
MPLAB or MPLAB-X in order to use this.
Other alternative is to get a CCS debugging tool, and select this, then
it'll stop asking for MPLAB.... |

| Alright, thank you. I really don't like MPLABX, so i won't be using a debugger then. |

I had this problem, I purchased the PCWH IDE and couldn't get it to work with the Microchip ICD3, but after email tech support I got it working.
Install everything as administrator PCWH, INTERFACE SOFTWARE, MPLABX 3.65.
Download and install MPLABX ver3.65...IT MUST BE THIS VERSION!! it won't work with earlier or later (just seen my earlier error) versions of MPLABX at the moment.

You need to have MPLABX 3.65 installed, and point the CCS IDE to that version.
You also need to have a 32bit Java 8 JRE installed.
You will also need to run the IDE as administrator.
Thanks,
Darren @ CCS
