when I install the "ROHS USB TAP Update.ext",  but some problem appears. It says that:"Setup was unable to find the qulified installation of codewarrior tools on your system. Please select the location below,and press "Next" to start the file update."

I had choose many many different location which my codewarrior 7.0 installed, but always can't go ahead.

who can give me some advice to fix this USB  TAP connection for codewarrior 7.0 of 56800E.

Hi Xiaogang

I had similar problems when I installed v7.1 alongside v6.3.

The installations share a folder:  C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR LOGIN NAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Metrowerks.

This folder is updated each time you launch and IDE and it can get confused.

I deleted the contents of this folder and then relaunched v7.1 and the USB Tap option reappeared.

It is a pain that you have to redo your project settings but it worked for me.

Good luck

Regarding the "ROHS USB TAP Update.exe" error it's almost certainly a bug in the Update executable itself, and best ignored as clearing out the above folder will most probably solve your problem.
