For Windows 2000 and XP

MPLAB ICE 4000 should NOT be plugged into a USB port, powered, or plugged into a target board at this time.

• If you have already plugged MPLAB ICE 4000 into the USB port and the "Found New Hardware Wizard" has popped up, click Cancel on that dialog, unplug the MPLAB ICE 4000 and continue with these instructions.
 
• If you have already plugged MPLAB ICE 4000 into the USB port and used the  "Found New Hardware Wizard" to install drivers automatically, you have installed the wrong drivers. Follow the instructions specified in C:\Program Files\Microchip\MPLAB IDE\ICE 4000\Drivers\clnice4k.htm.

Install the latest version of MPLAB IDE. You can get a free copy of this application from our website (http://www.microchip.com) or from your local Microchip sales office on CD-ROM.

During the install, dialogs may pop up stating, "The software you are installing for this hardware: Microchip Development Tool has not passed Windows Logo testing..." In this case, Microchip Development Tool will be: 

• Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Loader
• Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Client

Connect  MPLAB ICE 4000 to the PC with a USB cable. Then, connect the power supply and turn on the unit.

If you are using an external USB HUB, make sure it has a power supply and is powered or MPLAB ICE 4000 will not work.

If you have service pack 2, the first time a new USB device is plugged into a Windows XP system, this dialog box will appear indicating that the system has found a new hardware device and asking you whether or not to search for update software. Select "No, not this time".  Click "Next" and continue with the steps below.

The first time a new USB device is plugged in, a small dialog box will appear indicating that the system has found a new hardware device. There also may be a dialog box that informs the user that a device data base is being built or updated.

After these dialogs appear, the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box  is displayed. Select "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click "Next" to continue the installation.

Note: If you are running Windows 2000, you may not see this dialog or the next 3 dialogs. Instead, the system will automatically install the software without asking you. This is OK. Proceed to Step 7.

During the install, a dialog will pop up stating, "The software you are installing for this hardware: Microchip Development Tool has not passed Windows Logo testing..." In this case, Microchip Development Tool will be "Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Loader". Click "Continue Anyway". (See "Software Preliminaries" for a picture of this dialog.)

The "Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard" will appear once the Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Loader has been installed. Click "Finish" to end this installation and begin the install of the Firmware Client..

A small dialog box will appear indicating that the system completed adding a hardware device, immediately followed by the statement that it has found a new hardware device. 

After this dialog appears, the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box  is displayed again, this time to install the Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Client. Select "Install the software automatically (Recommended)" and click "Next" to continue the installation.

During the install, a dialog will pop up stating, "The software you are installing for this hardware: Microchip Development Tool has not passed Windows Logo testing..." In this case, Microchip Development Tool will be "Microchip MPLAB ICE 4000 Firmware Client". Click "Continue Anyway". (See "Software Preliminaries" for a picture of this dialog.)
