Hi

   

During my install of PSoC Designer 5.4, it detected a problem with installing Adobe svg viewer.  However it did complete the installation although did complain about it a couple of times.

   

When I run PSoC Designer, it loads up but when I load an example project, I get an error message saying it is required to re-install Adobe svg viewer.

   

Now just how does one go about that???

   

According to Adobe, support for svg viewer was discontinued in 2009!!

   

I am using Windows 10.

   

Also, I couldn't find a way to search the forum for a particular word - it seems you can only search the Cypress website complete?

Thank you Bob, for your welcome and for pointing me in the right direction. SVG viewer is now installed as the thread suggested and now working.  I am looking forward to getting started on my project.

   

I have some other issues related to PSoC but I think they are for another thread.

Tony,

   

When you are not dependent on some special features of a PSoC1, I strongly suggest you to switch to a more modern version of PSoCs, a PSoC4 or 5 would provide you with an AMR-M0 or M3 core. Mostly because of the lack of debugging PSoC1 projects without an in-circuit emulator (ICE-Box). The cheapest prototype kits for PSoC4-m and PSoC5 will not bust your budget

I've found that when I do a fresh Windows (7) install, if I install Designer before I update Internet Exploder, Designer will complain every time I start it. Apparently it doesn't like the fact that I'm going from -- what is the default in Win7, IE8? -- to a later version, Designer seems to think I've downgraded.

   

Obviously the first thing to do is update IE before installing Designer, but of course I didn't know that last time I installed it at work. Which is where I use it most. So I've gotten used to clicking Yes every. bloody. time. I. run. Designer. Updating Designer doesn't work, and I haven't wanted to take an extra couple hours to do a complete uninstall/reinstall.

   

I too followed the link to the other thread and installed the ancient viewer linked there. It seems to have resolved this issue. Thank you.

   

 

   

As for switching from PSoC 1... I had a long lecture written, but it boils down to: I can only speak for myself of course, but context is important, and while there might be some benefits, such a massive retooling would not be cost effective for us at this time.
