Please Help With a Compile error on 1st installation and use of AtmelStudio V7 and Visual Micro for Arduino Uno on Windows 10.  This sketch does compile and runs correctly using the Arduino IDE.  There appears to be a missing bin directory. I reinstalled the arduino IDE and the bin directory is still missing.  The path looking for the directory is the "Architecture Tools:' in the compile output attached.  this path c:/Users/almoo/AppData/..../tools/avr-gcc/5.4.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino2/bin/    but no /bin/ folder exists.  Deep search cannot find the file avr-g++

What am i missing?  Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info.

It sounds like you have a partial install of hardware via Board Manager

If using avr then it comes with the arduino ide so you don't need board manager

Remove this folder: This removes all the board manager downloaded packages.

c:/Users/almoo/AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages


or remove this folder: This removes any "arduino" packages that were downloaded with board manager

c:/Users/almoo/AppData/Local/Arduino15/packages/arduino

or remove this folder then restart the arduino ide: Removes all packages and package index files from board manager

c:/Users/almoo/AppData/Local/Arduino15

note

All board manager packages can be re-downloaded at any time therefore removing the above folders does not destroy anything useful

Restart Visual Micro (IDE) after making changes or click the Rescan command

That worked beautifully, thanks so much
