Running WinXp Pro.
I read the previous post about being unable to compile and load the hello program. So. I downloaded ver 0.8.0 which did get rid of the path problem.
However, I still get the ' No such file or directory' when the IDE runs the propeller-loader. I ran propeller-load without parameters in a dos window and it loaded. So I don't know what file it can't find. The a.out file is present in the source directory.
Uninstalled and reinstalled as administrator. New problem. When I run the IDE as administrator, I receive the same result as above.
When I run as the local user, I cannot load a project. The IDE comes with empty project, When I try to load the hello project, It asked to save the old project management settings before closing. If I answer either yes or no, the program. The program fails with the message that ''the application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way' then exits.

Dowloaded ver 0.8.1 -- Same problems.
Really looks to be a step up in the development tools. Wish I could get it to work.
Can you give the following?
What Windows are you running?
Is propeller-elf-gcc.exe in C:\propgcc\bin ?
Is C:\propgcc\bin in %PATH% ? echo %PATH%
The User/Admin problem is a known issue mentioned in the download notes. Before it mentioned adding C:\propgcc to the system PATH environment variable. It should ay C:\propgcc\bin should be in the system PATH environment variable.
Thanks,

Using Win Xp Pro.
Saw the download notes. adjusted path to C:\propgcc\bin is sysem path. Any user should be able to access.
Opened dos window. used 'set' to view path. Path was correct.
Run propelller-load from command line but without args. Program ran and displayed options as expected so path is right.
propeller-load is what fails from the ide with the message. Compiller runs successfully in the ide.
Did you restart SimpleIDE after setting the system path?
What is your workspace or demo folder name?
Can you please copy the build status and paste to a forum post here? This is the easiest way for me to help you further.
1. Make sure your board is connected. Choose the serial port.
2. Open the hello demo, and choose HUB for board type.
3. Click the green right-arrow run button (or press F10).
4. Right click build status pane - this should show a popup window.
5. Click "Select All" from popup window.
6. Right click build status pane again.
7. Click "Copy" from the popup window.
8. Paste to new forum post.
Thanks,

I like your approach and still think it is a step up from other development evironments. I thank you've done a fine job and put in a lot of time to get this far. Hope it works out for it.
BUT.. I have a slew of questions about the implementation. The answers to which will determine if I continue to follow and work with the functionality.
P.S. I'm not a stickler on every detail working in the app. Doing 'work arounds' to get something done is ok by me, Inconvenient sometimes, but I can live with it. After all, I'm working with spin and pasm without a reliable debugger. I'm interested to creating a lean, mean propeller app that will work reliably in a specialized commercial enviroments. I'll post my questions elsewhere. I'm not in a hurry for answers.
Thanks for your time.
Please explain. I'm lost. Where do you see this?
Can you copy/paste the output in a post? Maybe take a screen snapshot with CTRL+PRNSCREEN and paste to Paint and save as a .png file then post here as an attachment?
This is good news.
If we can fix whatever problems you're having it would benefit everyone.
