Thanks. Yes, I did go through that step of downloading V7.1 and running the CW with latest PE BDM i/f. It worked just fine !.
I cannot upgrade my existing V5.x to V7.1 without paying.
It does look like, CW V5.x needs some library/plugin update. Not sure where I can get those. So far no response from PEmicro folks on this issue. So thought of trying my luck here in this form.
Thanks for any pointers in this regard.
