Hi, I have the same problem and the version I have installed is the visual micro 1.6 In visual studio 2010.

There is a new version of visual micro but I can not install it in Visual Studio 2010.

If I try to install the new version in visual studio 2010
"Visual.Micro.Arduino.Studio.vsix"
It gives me this error:
The manifest of extension is not valid

I've tried the arduino compiler and it works fine as well as the arduino programming.

They know how to make it work, without having to switch to another version of visual studio.

I have xp sp3 and switch to a higher visual studio would require me to change operating system and I can not right now.


Thanks for the help.
