Hi John,

The serial.print statements don't need to be removed. Sorry if there are some confusing comments in this thread.

I'll delete any confusing comments from this thread when I get time.

You are right the errors will be because the Visual.Micro.Debugger.Data.Extension.dll has not installed successfully into the windows GAC (c:\windows\assembly)

The dll is the one file that both plugin and debugger graphical extensions share so the file needs to be installed into the common location (gac).

You will probably find the dll is in the visual micro program folder instead of the gac. The debugger controls are open source so they are separate programs to the plugin and are installed into a different location to the plugin. This is why the plugin loads correctly but the debugger controls do not. 

The plugin installer is responsible for adding the dll to the gac. Did you try running the codeplex installer as administrator?

Failing that did you try the latest (november) plugin and 3.3 debugger?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the quick reply. 

There was no confusion re: removing serial.print stmts, I had quite a few of them so it seemed like a good idea to me for the reasons mentioned. I was also planning on using the Debug in VM so I didn't think I would need so many.

Yes, you are right that the dll files are in the VM program files foler. I will uninstall both and re-install as The Administrator account and not just under an account with admin privileges and report back ASAP, within a day or so.

Many thanks again,
John

Hello again Tim,

I have uninstalled both packages and installed latest version of both as The Administrator.

Debug is now working well. I can see you have put much effort and thought into this and it makes Arduino development seem more of a professional platform and less of a hobbyists toy. Excellent!

Now for me to catch up wth all it can do.

Thanks again and best regards,
John
