ATtiny and Avrisp

If I use avrisp and the suggested VM usb drivers I can upload to an UNO board via ISP.
If I switch to an ATtiny (cores downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/) I dont see the programmer listed in Tools - VB - Programers (its greyed out and if I hover over it says "adding child menus to this item will enable it" whatever that means.
If I programme woithout debiging the message "Uploading to I/O board using 'avrispmkii'" appears in the output window but the prog doesnt seem to work.
I removed the # from the avrisp programer line in the cores boards file as follows:
# The following DO work (pick one)...
#attiny84at8.upload.using=arduino:arduinoisp
attiny84at8.upload.protocol=avrispv2
# attiny84at8.upload.using=pololu

any suggestions?

Hi Trek,

Yes sorry there is a bug in Visual Micro which is not displaying the programmers for third party boards and core that are share the programmers installed with the Arduino Ide.

You can get around the problem by copying the programmers.txt file from arduinoide/hardware/arduino/avr to the avr folder you have installed from the Tiny zip.

Then either re-start Atmel or click "Tools>Visual Micro>Reload Toolchains"

After that programmers should appear and all settings should be identical to whatever the Arduino Ide uses.

Thanks
