Unable to create new sketch (SOLUTION - Install C++ for VS)
Aug 28th, 2015 at 5:16am
 
Hi,
I have VS2015 Professional installed and the latest Visual Micro extension from the downloads page.

When I click file/New arduino project then give a name in the dialog box and press ok I get an error box:
'Unable to create new sketch' The parameter is incorrect. (Exception fro HRESULT:080070057(E_INVALIDARGS))

It appears the project directory is being created and a skeleton .ino file is being created in the directory but I am unable to open the .ino file from the IDE (in notepad I see the skeleton code).

I'm also not able to open any other .ino files. 
With an empty Solution Explorer if I select file/open/Arduino project and select a .ino file I end up with, for example, 'Solution 'test1' (0 projects) and no files.

Any idea what is going on? Both VS and VM are clean installs on an upgraded Windows 10.

The Arduino ide V1.6.4 is installed and seems to work correctly.

Please see the notes about selecting the C++ option when installing VS2015, on the download page, gallery page and FAQ Smiley
