MPlab8.92 stopped compiling - errors

[augustinetez]

Has anybody else suddenly found MPlab 8.92 (or any MPlab8.xx version) suddenly not compiling asm files?

It is now giving me (partial list)these errors:

The icon against all my asm files is now what appears to be for C files and I can't find any way to switch the IDE to MPASMWIN.

Spent the last 4 hours deleting anything vaguely related to Microchip including any registry entries to no avail.

Edit: running Win 10 190something or other

Have you tried to use a wrong .INC file?

INC files from 8.92 are not to be used with pic-as 2.32 or vice versa. Or should I say XC8?

I've removed MPlabX - trying to do some maintenance updates on on old project files using MPlab 8.92 - it was all working a couple of days ago and I haven't changed anything.

Update on the icon against all asm files - it shows them as being associated with Visual Studio and switching the association to MPASMWIN has no effect.

 

[augustinetez]

That should have been changed the association to MPlab.exe.

"Illegal label" seems to suggest that something is in the wrong column, maybe. Just guessing.

Sorted - I must have used Switcher when I was using MPlabX to set something and it messed up - I know that is only supposed to be to do with driver files, but switching everything back to MPlab 8 seems to have fixed it.
