Download VMLAB314.ZIP (~4.2 Mbytes) :

Click on the CD_ROM

• VERY IMPORTANT: uninstall first any previous release of VMLAB (use Add/Remove programs in Windows Control Panel) 
• Download VMLAB314.ZIP in a temporary directory, for example C:\INSTALL. It is important not to mix the obtained installation files with old ones of previous releases, therefore it is recommend to create a new temporary directory. It can be deleted later, if you wish, once the installation is finished.
• Unzip it. 
• Run SETUP.EXE; it will install VMLAB 3.14 in your computer, so, no additional upgrade is needed.
• Note: WinZIP can do all this job automatically by just clicking on the SETUP.EXE file, once loaded VMLAB314.ZIP

Long names. Windows (and VMLAB) support long names in filenames and directories, but VMLAB relies also on 3rd party tools: assemblers, compilers, etc, whose right behavior with long names (files and directories) is not guaranteed. Therefore, we strongly recommend you: 

• To check if your assembler/compiler support long names, otherwise use always the 8.3 rule (8 char. maximum name, 3 char. max extension) in your designs files and directories. 
• Do not use spaces in files/directories names, even if Windows allows it.
• Use the default installation directory: C:\VMLAB. If this name is not good, use other with the 8.3 rule.
• Do not use the C:\Program files\.... directory for the installation, even if it is an standard in Windows.

Known behavior up-to-date of different 3rd party tools supported by VMLAB. This could change with releases.

• AVR Atmel assembler: support long names.
• WinAVR: supports long names with latest ELF->COFF converter; 12 char max with previous releases (<  3.3).
• ST62 assembler: does not support long names.

Therefore,  VMLAB's default  behavior is to follow the 8.3 rule, which is the safest option. To change this, use the 'Options | Code Maker' menu.

To evaluate VMLAB, we recommend you to try the examples included in AVR_DEMO, WinAVRdemo and ST6_DEMO directories. There is a step-by-step tutorial in the C:\VMLAB\TUTORIAL directory.
