Microchip XC8/16 v1.10 install error

[CDB-3]

I installed the above builds yesterday (I already had v1.00 installed) and
both installers had the same file copying failure when trying to copy from
my temp directory the XCLM.conf file to the etc directory.

After attempting to manually copy the file I found that the etc directory
is not accessible due to Microchip making it accessible only with 'Special
User' permissions.

Both compilers worked. After adding my user name and giving myself full
permissions to this file, I could open the folder and see that despite the
installer error message box the file was in fact there.

This file appears to have something to do with the licencing requirements.

So in a nutshell, if you get this error message upon install and you find
that you are denied access to this folder in your file explorer, it looks
as though it can be ignored.

What I have found over the years is that whilst Microchip makes excellent
chips, they make pretty dire software.

Did someone say MPLABX?

A real pity as it looks to have some really nice features in it - like a
real development environment should be.

I had similar problems and every time the download file had a
different MD5 checksum. I'll post my checksum tomorrow so that you can
compare with yours.

I'm using MPLABX v1.3 and xc16 v1.0
