Version 1.1505.04
When I try to upload sketch I get:

Maybe the upgrade didn't go on properly. Please run install, click uninstall then install. Thanks

When I try to load the release version, And do a repair, I get an error message:
The specified account already exists.

I un-installed and have tried re-installing both the stable and release candidate. Both have the same problem. Oddly they both report the same 1.1505.04 version in Options->Visual Micro->Version

I was able to find an old version (1.1503.18) in the trash and it's working again. It would be nice if the installer displayed the version number before installing.

Old version can always be made available however you shouldn't need them.

The issue was fixed in 1505.03 so it must be that the upgrade didn't go on properly.

I uninstalled everything through control panel then re-installed current  release candidate. Still get error:

I have no src directory in D:\Development\Arduino\libraries\Arduino. Note that D:\Development\Arduino\libraries is the location of my user-libraries.
Could it be my Arduino installation is corrupt? The folders with the executables etc. I keep in C:\Arduino\Arduino-1.0.6\

Unfortunately I'm stuck with the old version of the arduino software due to a bug in avr-libc which affects anything newer.

I didn't see you were using 1.0.x. Should not be a problem though.

No its not a corrupted install. It looks like a bug in visual micro but first I need to establish if you have a library called arduino here D:\Development\Arduino\libraries\Arduino?

If so please zip and email to info [at] visualmicro.com

Thanks

edit: also let me know what #includes you have in your sketch

My includes are:

Some of my own libraries,

#include <FiniteStateMachine.h>
#include <SdFat.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>

#include <SPI.h>
#include <avr/EEPROM.h>
#include <RTClib.h>
#include <Wire.h> 
#include <Arduino.h> 
#include <stdarg.h> 

I have emailed you my D:\Development\Arduino\libraries\Arduino directory. I recognize some of the contents MPU6050, DS1307, etc. This is odd, because these are mostly in D:\Development\Arduino\libraries. It will come from ryan at planktos instruments...

Thanks, I have worked out what the problem is and a fix will be available tomorrow.

The new library resolver wasn't checking if a lib existed which caused an issue with any .h that was wan't a library or sketch source file. 

The #include <arduino.h> in your code is the one ".h file" that is neither of the above, so visual micro is trying to find and cache a library folder called sketchbook/libraries/arduino

You might want the #include arduino.h where it is for a reason but if not remove it and the compile will work.

Thanks for the testing
