Hi,

Haven't heard that one before. It sounds an internal vs issue because the arduino plugin does so little when loading a sketch. Please tell me what you have installed. Here are a few things to check

1) Visual Studio - SP1?
2) .NET - 3.5 and 4.0 frameworks
3) VS Languages - C#, VB.NET and C++
4) Which other addins and extensions do you have installed

Can you also send me a sketch that has the problem? (email: info [at] visualmicro.com]

Does a sketch that fails to load always fail ot just sometimes?

Look forward to hearing more

Thanks

I found out:
If made new sketch with even nothing in it (only: void setup() {} and void loop(){}) check (F7), no errors!
Save it, "close project".
When I ReOpen the project, I get the error "NET Framework 4 not installed"!

If I delete all files in the "project" but .ino or .pde files
I can reopen the project"


CryWeird??

please make the problem and email your project in a zip. we can see in the .vcproj file what it is trying to do.

Things you should do...

Close visual studio, open task manager and kill all devenv.exe processes.

Then re-start visual studio to see if problem is resolved.

If the problem is not resolved or if there were not any devenv.exe process then please re-apply Visual Studio SP1

Does this fix the problem?

Thanks for the files. I think we are looking for the problem in the wrong place, the files you sent are good and normal.

This is definately a problem with your visual studio or .net installation so we need to  make a few tests to narrow the problem.

The first thing to do now is to create a new empty C++ win32 project using the normal Visual Studio "File>New Project" and to add a single .cpp file to it. 

By making this test you are using normal Visual Studio commands and not the Arduino addin menus.

Can you do this without an error?

Thanks

Hi !
I tested with c++ as you said. I could save and re-open no problems.
And when try to Build :

1>------ Build started: Project: Weird2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Build started 2012-05-31 08:06:43.
1>D:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Microsoft.CppBuild.targets(292,5): error MSB8009: .NET Framework 2.0/3.0/3.5 target the v90 platform toolset. Please make sure that Visual Studio 2008 is installed on the machine.
1>
1>Build FAILED.
1>
1>Time Elapsed 00:00:00.08
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Interesting, my next suggestion was to try compile. I think the .net 4 error appears when visual micro attempts to alter the c++ project settings.

We can see from your test without visual micro that Visual Studio is not happy with the C++ install

I will try to search microsoft for the error later today to see what is recommended. Maybe you can do the same. Why is visual studio 2010 looking for 2008 when you compile a C++ project?

This seems to indicate that the C++ of your vs 2010 is wrong. For it to ask for 2008 it suggests an older version of C++ is installed. This would also explain why vs 2010 says .NET4 is not installed.

Can you explain the history of your visual studio uinstall? how lon has it been installed? was it originally vs 2008?

Before, when VS2010 + ardino worked was it installed on my D: - drive.
Then I got a new progam "Autodesk 123d" it could not select the install drive on, it took the C: drive!
The C.- drive not so big, then got a tip: change the "default progam dir" from C to D, it seems to work Then I started VS20100 ....

To change the registry, follow these steps:

1.    Start Registry Editor by entering “Regedit” in the search All programs.

2.    Locate the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

3.    Right click on the value named ProgramFilesDir & change the default value C:\Program Files to the path you want to install all your programs in.

4.    Click OK and Exit.

So you are saying that Visual Studio and the Arduino plugin worked correctly until you altered the default programs path?

In this case I think the suggestion to alter the program path does not work correctly for Visual Studio Sad

So maybe it can be fixed by running the Visual Studio Installer and clicking "Repair"?

I don't know enough about where visual studio stores its files and how it manages its internal file paths

Maybe we should step back and say that you have a .netframework installation error. So why not try re-install or .net framework 4.0. I might even say install or repair .net3.5 and then .net4.0. But I am only guessing  Cry

On thing is for sure, in all cases you have had .net  core warnings/errors. First windows or vs was unable to find a .net4 resource that vs needs for a C++ project (which is what the arduino addin uses) and then an error saying that a vs2010 C++ project needs VS2008 which was .net2->3.5

I hope this helps point you to a solution. I am not sure I will come up with any better ideas but I will keep thinking about this until you say it is fixed.

Hello, again  Smiley

It is working again! Cheesy

I used "http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2010uninstall"
Then I used "http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner"
To get rid all "Visual Studio" both VS2010,VS2008 ....
Then fresh install "Bingo".

All actions where perfomed under "Admin" user.
