Hi All I have installed the 4k UV3 version V3.51 that came with my latest MCB900 board using XP in the root C:\Keil4k\. Now when I use Help - uvision help - I get message 'Cannot find the 'C:\Keil4k\uv3\uv3.hlp file'. This file does not seem to be in the installation. Any ideas? Thanks.
Hi, I have found the same thing in version 3.33. I have inquired with support but have not yet been answered on this point. My IDE also fails to respond to any search target term put into the task bar window at the top (between the binoculars icons) & I believe that it used to do so. I have reloaded uV3 but to no avail. Does your version work as intended in this regard?
Thanks
I have not yet had any problems with search, but I have only just started. The biggest problem at the moment is the disappearance of all the help stuff. Thanks.
Hi,
Technical support asked me if I have the help file within my Keil download & I can't find it. You may have the same situation. You can request it from them. They cite:
\Keil\C51\hlp\c51tools.chm
The problem appears to be that UV3 looks for an absent file. Try \Keil\C51\hlp\c51tools.chm which is in my suite.
Hi again, my V3.51 does not have c51tools.chm either. Surely it would be easy for Keil to put missing files up on a 'missing files' page somewhere, as it seems to have happenned more than once. Perhaps we ought to ask them.
Hi, Roger,
Try C:\Keil\C51\hlp\c51tools.chm. It describes the commands etc for UV3. The UV3.exe looks for something else. There should be a setup field somewhere in UV3 to change the auto help search target to this but I can't find it. The U.S. support is a cruel hoax. They don't even seem to know what I'm referring to as the main find window although it is depicted in the c51tools.chm file, but without operating details. They don't seem to know what it's for! They also gave me a bogus reference to another nonexistent help file on my second inquiry.
If you get a chance, see if yours works by typing into this window (between the 2 binoculars symbols flanking it) any term from the file in the edit screen & clicking on the text itself (in the window)to see if it goes directly to searching for that text. Also please click on the binoculars token at the immediate right of this window & see if the term in the window gets transferred to the pop up window that comes up. Mine doesn't do either but it originally did.
One more thing, I am using A51/BL51 & the object files that come out of the linker for loading to the emulator show up as "Adobe Download Manager" types. Support offered absolutely nothing on this. I wonder if your executable files are of this type (with a big green arrow!)
Hi Richard, My V3.51 does not contain c51tools.chm either!
Searching works ok for me, binoculars and edit-find and ctrl-f also, even in the dissasembly window when connected to the mbc900 board, provided the external device is not 'running'. When running the dissasembly window corrupts, but recovers in single step mode.
I have not noticed any problems with object files.
I now solve the help problem by going to the help files folder and clicking on the individual topics, which seem to be present and to work ok. Can you get by with the online 2k free version? I had fewer problems with this before I 'upgraded' to the 4k.
Ulrich Roth at ur@keil.com and Reinhard Keil at rk@keil.com have both been very helpful in the past. Best of luck.
