1891 - LatticeMicoSystem: Why can't the user see the deployment icons in the LatticeMico System Builder (MSB) Software Deployment Tools dialog?

The icons in the Software Deployment Tools dialog, accessed from LatticeMico System Builder's C/C++ Perspective, do not appear when using a Win 7 64 bit OS. There isn't a known workaround to make the icons visible in this OS. Options to get around the issue include:

  • Use a 32-bit Windows OS to run MSB
  • Use a Linux OS to run MSB
  • Use the MSB SDK Shell to execute the necessary commands manually
