Can you run any programs, say, AddressBook in the examples assembly? If yes, your upp is fine and you don't need another copy of uppsrc. This is most likely where you are.

The problem you're facing is that newer versions of U++ have moved MyApps to under upp folder. You will probably want to stay the old way, that is, keep MyApps where it was, which is outside of upp, so that when you upgrade to newer version of U++, you can simply delete old upp folder and unpack newer one.

Suppose you want to keep MyApps where it was, and you have messed up default MyApps setting. Here is what you can do:

1. File -> Set Main Package ... (or Ctrl+M) to bring up set main package dialog;
2. In the Assembly pane (left pane), click and select the "example" assembly;
3. Right mouse and select "New Assembly" in the popup menu, or optionally use "insert" key, to bring up "new assembly" dialog;
4. The package nests field will be prefilled with the setting for the "example" assembly, which is exactly the purpose of doing step 2. Replace "C:\upp/examples" with "C:\MyApps" (or wherever your MyApps rest), leave the uppsrc part untouched;
5. The "Assembly name" field in the dialog should be correctly populated.

OK all the way out, and you should be good to go.
