After installing the C51 Developers kit(DK51 V5.50 for windows) I can't get the compiler to run. I have windows NT 4. When I type C51 or c51.exe in the bin directory it pauses for less than a second then the command prompt comes back and nothing else happens. I am using an installation where a serial number is required at install time, after which no licencing files are required. Can anyone help me? Regards, Alan
I got to the bottom of the problem. My path environmental variable was extremely long. After shortening it to a more sensible length, the compiler ran normally. The group I have joined are sticking with V5.50 – they tell me the code doesn't compile in the same way with later versions and some of our customers also use this version. Thanks, Alan
