	I upgraded to version 1.6.8 for my Due. Now I get this when trying to upload: Uploading 'WebServer' to 'Arduino Due (Programming Port)' using 'COM11' The uploader returned an error bossac.exe: extra arguments found Try 'bossac.exe -h' or 'bossac.exe --help' for more information I using VS2015 with VisualMicro version:1.1603.20, IDE 1.6 Anyone know how to fix this?

	You don't say which Arduino Ide version you were on previously and they have changed a lot. I suggest first thing to do it to make sure you have run the 1.6.8 Ide at least once. Make sure you have updated your SAM core via Board Manager because the defs have also changed a lot. Make sure you always update Visual Micro when updating Arduino because if Arduino changes then of course Visual Micro must also change. In theory the Visual Micro you have is okay but with the changes to the SAM core you should play safe and use the up to date version. After that if you still have an issue then switch on vMicro>Verbose, then build and copy the output into a txt file and email to info[at]visualmicro.com or attach to this thread.

	When I downgrades to version 1.6.7 it works, I can upload. I have updated to 1.6.8 with the board manager. I will upgrade again right now and if I still have the problem I torn on verbose and mail you. Thanks

	Hi, Thanks for the verbose output. There is a new property called {upload.verify} that the SAM definitions expect. I will look at Visual Micro later today to see if Visual Micro is setting the property

	Hi, Thanks again for the report. A new release (1605.14) has been published to the gallery with support for the new upload.verify property. The property has been attached to the existing "visual micro tools>option>vm>compiler>upload verify" which defaults to False.
