Hi,

Please check/do these things:-

1) That you have entered the correct path for the Arduino ide against the correct Arduino 1.0.x or Arduino 1.5.x application. If you have installed Arduino 1.0.5-r2 this is a 1.0.x application.

2) If 1) doesn't help then click tools>visual micro>reset user interface

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Did you try to restart VS 2012? Sometimes it gets confused after first install.

If that doesn't work then try to disable the addin in "tools>addin manager". Un-tick the Visual Micro addin then re-start vs. Then re-tick the first two or all checkboxes in the addin manager.

If it still fails then please switch on tools>options>visual micro>user interface>trace then re-start. After the ide loads an output window will appear with trace info. please copy and paste into an email then send to info[at]visualmicro.com

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Did you install a version of Visual Studio that includes C++?

You can test for this by using File>New>Project and selecting a new C++ win32 project.

Thanks
