Following system recovery after being virused I am unable compile in Version 3 and I get the following message.

038-001-001 Rev 2 LOOP VER WIP.c

The file could be compiled before the virus and i am still able to use PPP to program chips from existing files but am now unable to modify and code until this is cured HELP please

Flowcode was unable to compile the flowchart's C code due to the following errors:


If your flowchart contains C code, please review this carefully. If your flowchart contains no C-code or you have thoroughly reviewed the code, contact Technical Support.

Hello,

It looks like your compiler has been corrupted.

Warning: can't start preprocessor

Some anti virus programs actually see the Flowcode BoostC compiler as a virus due to its name so you may have to be a bit careful when removing viruses from your computer.

Since the Flowcode file is still opening I would assume that that file itself is still ok.

Therefore uninstalling and reinstalling Flowcode should allow you to compile again as normal.

Let me know how you get on.

Will this need a new registration key?

[Benj]

Hello,

No you should simply uninstall and then re-install and leave the key entry part blank at the end of the installation. This way your previous keys will be retained.

If you do enter your CD key again then you will need to follow it up with your existing registration details from your registration email.
