Proton IDE Compiler wont run/Crashes when IDE is run on my Windows 7

[Les]

The compiler is developed on a Windows 7 64-bit machine, therefore it is guaranteed to work within Windows 7. However, Windows being Windows, it wrongly allows third party applications to stop the OS from doing it's job.

The compiler does not need any part of MPLAB in order to run, as it is self contained.

You will require later versions of MPLAB in order to simulate the newer devices however.

Hello Les
I think one issue that may be slightly misleading is that the installer (I can only reference the betas as they are what I use) -
In the Disclamer section on install - it says something like -
"You MUST have MPLABS IDE installed prior to installing this etc etc "

I dont want to do another install to quote the exact text - but it is something like that .

Joe,
