Visual Micro for Arduino installs, but does not open Sketch

Hi All.

I'm definitely new to Visual Micro for Arduino and trying to get off the ground. Though not successful so far...

Installed VS2015 , installed and added the VM plug-in. Purchased license and registered. Installed VM from VM website. Version is 1.1601.30 for VM. Running Win 7. VS is
Ver 14.0.2472.00  update 1. Arduino IDE is 1.6.5.


I checked to see that C++ installed ( also have VB and C#) in the about pull-down help menu.

When I try to open new sketch get message that could not open sketch. Specifically "Unable to create a new sketch"
"The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x89970057(E_INVALIDARG). A project folder appears to be created with a .ino file inside, its blank.

Anything else I need to do to kick-start the creation of a new sketch? 

Also , if I try to open an existing .ino, nothing happens- just a brief screen flash...that's it.

Any words of advice?

Regards,

OC

Hi,

The error you see is produced by visual studio when visual micro attempts to run the standard "new c++ project" macro.

You should be able to see the issue even when visual micro is not doing stuff.

Try to create a new empty visual studio c++ project or empty c++ win32 project using "File>New>Project"

Do these options exists in the c++ section of the new project wizard? Do they work?

Thanks for the timely reply...

We may have a case of cockpit error...

Since I will confess being new to VS as well, I noted that when I tried to create a new C++ project it indicated a need to install some additional files...

Doing that now..

Appears that in the about VS indicates that C++ installed, but perhaps not enable? Either way, going through the process..

Will update and provide closure.

Thanks for forbearance and all the help!!

Regards,

OC
