Hope you don't mind this is split into a new thread. Normally be have one thread per user because problems are often different and it's confusing to ask two sets of questions in a single thread.

Can you please confirm if you have a path to the visual micro program files in tools>options>environment>addin/macro security>locations

and also see if your windows event log is enabled or disabled? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b04gcrR8MU

Thanks

ps: windows 8 is fine, we have lots of users using it

It's a different problem but just as annoying  Smiley the other user has a "provider load failure" when attempting to enable the addin via tools>addin manager.

Do you have a "tools>options>visual micro" option?

EDIT: In "tools>options>visual micro>applications locations", when you attempt to configure the ide locations do you see a dialog with a drop down list of apps such as Arduino 1.0.x, Arduino 1.5.x?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

EDIT: Sorry for the messing about. This has been reported by a couple of other new users. The same Visual Micro and Atmel 6.1 software has run well for months and thousands of users. 

It might be a permissions issue but I have been vague because the problem is within some internal Atmel Studio, Visual Studio or Windows component.

We will get to the bottom of it sometime soon and also why it affects on a few people. It's going to be boring story I am sure. Stay tuned and we will send you a free debugger when it is working for you.

No but thanks for asking. There should be a new release later today that includes some better diagnostics and reporting along with fallback to alternative ways of doing things. So the mystery should be removed.

It's going to be interesting to see what is causing it for the two of you.

In the meantime you can switch on "tools>options>visual micro>user interface>trace" please. After you get the next update better info will appear in the output window (when you start atmel studio). Currently I don't think it will show anything useful.

Great thanks, well for starters this shows you have added a path to the arduino ide. 

So I guess you have configured an Arduino location in Visual Micro? 

Can you please open regedit and delete the registry key called "HK_CURRENT_USER/Software/Visual Micro". Only delete the Visual Micro key which will delete all of the Visual Micro settings. Then re-start the ide.

What happens?

Thanks

Good. yes it makes sense that the trace was switch off when you removed the reg key.

So do you have a tool bar with a few combo boxes and a big question? If so what is in the first combo box if you drop it down?

Thanks

Hopefully you are saying that this window opens for you and does not have any ide names listed?



and what happens if you click "tools>visual micro>reset user interface"?
