Problem Title:
XABEL6, Foundation F1.3/F1.4: OLE server errors when ABEL from other vendor installed
(registry).
Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard
General Description:
ABEL compilers from different vendors, including Xilinx-ABEL,
Synario (Data-IO) and Viewlogic's Workview Office or ViewPLD,
cannot be installed on the same PC platform. Each provides its
own registry entries for ABEL executables and the OLE server
(ntolesrv.exe). This is a vendor (Synario) software problem.
Solution 1:
To get XABEL working, you need to remove the other vendor's
ABEL software from the registry and path. If user needs to
restore other vendor's ABEL, save the registry to a file first.
(Whenever modifying the Registry through the Registry Editory,
it is a good idea to back up the Registry first through the
Registry Editor.)
1. Invoke regedit.exe (under Windows directory).
2. Select Edit->Find, and search for DIOEDA.
3. Find DIOEDA\Products and delete any key other than "XABELM1"
by highlighting the other key and selecting Edit -> Delete.
4. Invoke %XILINX%\bin\nt\install\xabel.reg (where %XILINX% is
your XACT-M1 installation dir) to set the registry to XABEL.
5. Examine your system PATH variable to make sure no
directories containing another vendor's ABEL software
precede %XILINX%\bin\nt.
6. Go to the $XILINX\bin\nt\install directory in Explorer, and
double-click on the XABEL.REG file to reset the registry to
M1 XABEL.
Reboot the PC (to terminate any resident OLE servers).
