EDIT: First job if you have a real problem, is always to close Atmel, ensure that atmelstudio.exe process is not active with task manager, terminate if it is. Then run the Visual Micro installer and click Remove, then run again and click Install. This will not remove your settings so should be painless.


Hi Kevin,

Sorry you are having problems. You don't need to re-install Atmel Studio at this point. 

Missing UI signifies a config problem or something that can normally be fixed quite easily. If not we can always add some trace information to find the problem however there are thousands of people using the plugin in Atmel so it can't be that much of a problem.

I have split your question into a new thread because whilst the end result might look the same the thread you used was unrelated to the current release and covered other unrelated questions. Same frustration I know, Sorry. Please ignore the off-topic message in the other thread it is system generated and will be deleted when you have found this new thread.

btw: The output showing "undefined reference to main" means that Visual Micro is not active and Atmel Studio is attempting to compile and Arduino project which will be expect to fail.

Let's start with a few facts please

1) What version of Arduino are you using?
2) You just updated Visual Micro today? Therefore using 1401.26 ( I added that to the subject of this post)
3) "Tools>Options>Addin Manager" shows an entry for Visual Micro and has two ticks before and after the name?
4) Do you see "Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Application Locations>Applications Ide Locations"? If so click the button in the edit box and confirm which Arduino 1.?.x application you are using? and what path is specified for the application? Is the path valid? It should not be enclosed in quotes.
5) Do you see a "Tools>Visual Micro>Reset User Interface" menu item? If you click it does the ide close and re-open?

Thanks

Thanks, sorry it was a chore. the last point (remove/install) would have done the job. I'll remember that.

It meant that Atmel had not shut down properly when you first upgraded. Sometimes it leaves the atmelstudio.exe process active in task manager. It's a pain
