I upgraded to a registered version of VM and also upgraded from VS2010 to 2015. Converted my project to VS2015 and it compiles fine. It also uploads to any Arduino board I try (uno, mega) from the Arduino IDE.

When I try to burn using the bootloader in VS2015 community it gives me only the error "Error while burning bootloader.". this is after a long wait.

Not sure what I have wrong, I had no problems setting up on VS2010.

Please switch on "Visual Micro>Verbose Messages". Then try to burn the boot loader and email the output to info [at] visualmicro.com

Also confirm which version of the arduino ide you are using.

Thanks

Thanks for the email. It went into Junk so only just seen it.

I switched on verbose in the arduino ide prefs and tried the bootloader upload. It appears to be sending the same command so it would be helpful to be sure you have selected the correct serial port in visual micro. (You probably have but it's worth asking)

Yes, I have. I switched several ports and different Adruino boards.  I started getting errors as well through the base Arduino programmer. Seems like something is blocking or at least slowing my COM ports down. So I am looking into that aspect.

Seems I get a lot of avrdude can't determine the serial port now.

Ok let me know how it goes.

You can copy/paste the uploader command into a .bat file in the arduino ide folder. It should work (or not) without any ide's open.

For example: uploader_test.bat

Then run using cmd.exe

The Arduino IDE is working steady now. So it's just the VM that is not compiling. But I can create a batch to upload as you mention so I am good for now. At some point something will generally change and resolve the problem:)

Is is just the Burn Bootloader that fails?

You know I never saw the upload command until you mentioned that. sorry. But yes, I can compile and upload which is what I need from VM. Still learning Arduino.
