2 Compiler is not installed in the default path The compiler installed in the default path is automatically added to the list of available compilers under MPLAB X IDE. If the compiler is not installed in the default path, then the compiler needs to be manually added under MPLAB X Tool options.

Under MPLAB X IDE, go to Tools>Options>Embedded>Build tools>Add>Browse and select the bin folder of compiler directory (e.g., E:\Microchip\xc8\v1.45\bin).
