Unable to create menu item for board XXX

Hello,

I could install the latest beta version of the plugin, however the 'Arduino Boards' and the comm ports lists are empty, and I couldn't create an Arduino project. 
Also if I select the menu items 'Tool>Options>Visual Micro' and after clicking the OK button getting the following error:

"Unable to create menu item for board Arduino Uno, Name=uno" and the same error message for all the boards.

detailed:
/Visual Micro: Deleting - UI Menu-Board-Items System.NullReferenceExeption at Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.AddInApp.RefreshCommandBarBoards()/

The latest stable version works fine.

I'm using:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2012
Version 11.0.60315.01 Update 2
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50709

Win7 x64

Best,
Viktor

Hi, Arduino 1.5x will be supported in the version due over the next week. In the meantime please use 1.0.4

Thanks

Hello,

I'm currently using Arduino 1.0.4, not 1.5. 
Any other suggestion?

Thanks

Oh, looking again at the error. This is not an arduino boards issue but a Visual Studio command bar / menu item problem.

Please add the following text to the end of the shortcut you use to run VS 2012, then run VS 2012 which should correct the problem (i hope). 

Quote:
/resetaddin Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper


The shortcut will point to "/[somepath]/devenv.exe" and will become

Quote:
"/[somepath]/devenv.exe" /resetaddin Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper


Please remove the text from the shortcut after this test
