HELP Needed: mplab ide build failed

hi i'm running mplab ide v8.90 on my computer and i've connected the mplab icd 3 to the target device which is a dsPICDEM development board and has dsPIC33FJ32MC204 as it processor, when i tried to run the downloaded code from microchip it says build failed.

here is my output window:

this is when i tried in release

Answer to your problem lies in the following

"Couldn't locate build tool. Check tool locations."

go to Project >> Set Language Tool Location then expand the Microchip C18/? (whatever language suite you are working with) Toolsuite...then expand Executables. You'll see the assembler, librarian, and linker locations. Go head and select each individually and browse to their location
