Further to a previous enquiry regarding ''The parameter is incorrect'' issue with STVD.
I've installed STVD V4.2.1 and Patch 2 but I'm still struggling with this problem of ''The parameter is incorrect'' on an ST8 application using the Assembler / Linker toolchain with STM8 Assembler code. I've tried to run the ST7 example 'realtime' supplied with STVD and this will not work either. With STM8 The system loads the mapping.asm and main.asm automatically and when a build is attempted the system reports ST Visual Develop The executable could not be found You can fix it by editing your toolset settings etc. etc. It hangs up while attempting to assemble mapping.asm and reports Error creating process for executable asm The parameter is incorrect Failed to create process. All files ie assembler, linker etc are located in a single project file and this is the path shown in project settings. What executable is it referring to? I am assuming it is the assembler executable. Any idea what's going on and how I can work round it? I'm running Windows XP on a fairly high spec machine. Thanks in anticipation of a solution.

Try this.
On menu Project select Settings. On General tab click on Default button after on ST ASM tab click on Default button after on ST Link tab click on Default button after click OK button Bye2011-09-07 06:11 AM
Thanks for the advice.
I have tried your suggested default settings however the same problem persists. I don't even know what the error message is referring to.I have tried removing and re-installing the STVD package with the same error resulting. Can anyone suggest an Assembler / Linker package for the STM8 that is a bit more robust and less complicated than STVD. I want to spend my time designing equipment and writing simple code, not wrestling with dodgy development systems. Thanks again for taking the time and effort to reply.

Try to create with notepad a false executable in the project folder.
But executable=.hex or .s19?
