4.2.3 Project Wizard – Select a Language Toolsuite

Step 2: Select a Language Toolsuite

• Select a language toolsuite for your project from the “Active Toolsuite” drop-down

menu. Although third-party language tools may be shown regardless of the device

selected, only those Microchip language toolsuites that are installed and work with

the selected device are available from this menu. To see all available (installed)

toolsuites, check “Show all installed toolsuites.”

• A list of tools in the selected toolsuite are shown in a box under “Toolsuite Con-

tents”. A tool with a red “X” preceding it is not installed or the path to the execut-

able is not known to MPLAB IDE. To assign or check assignments of tools to

executable files, click on the tool to show the executable and path under “Location

of Selected Tool”. Type in this text box to enter or change the assignment, or click

Browse to find the executable.
