Interchanging the position of 'core' and 'halfcore' (1) to verify that it was indeed requesting for a (.vbe) file, I get another error altogether: > "addloins impossible : connector number discrepancy between figure halfcore and i > nstance core in figure halfchip > Removing tmp files ..." > > which means that the first error is where the real problem is. > > Pls sir, why is it requesting for a (.vbe) file? does it have to do with my path?
