	After upgrading Arduino from 1.8.9 to 1.8.10 the projects for ESP8266 and ESP32 stopped compiling. They produce errors and compiling fails. The same projects still compile successfully from the Arduino IDE 1.8.10. I have tried it on Visual Studio 2017 (with latest Visual Micro plugin) and on VS2015 with the last plugin for VS2015 - same effect, same errors. It seems it something library related ... (where the compiler searches for the .h files and the errors are for the usual libraries like Wire.h and SPI.h). Example: HTU21D.h: 49:18: fatal error: Wire.h: No such file or directory #include <Wire.h> compilation terminated Error compiling libraries

	1) Do you get the same issue if you use the "No IDE" option? Confirm the problem does not appear? 2) Please use the zip to install an older arduino version into a test folder and point visual micro to that. Confirm the problem does not appear? Previous arduino here https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/OldSoftwareReleases#previous

	On Visual Studio 2017 with the latest Visual Micro plugin on a Windows 10 OS, and Arduino 1.8.10, when No IDE is selected, it works (compilation was successful). On Visual Studio 2015 with the latest Visual Micro (for VS2015) plugin on a Windows 7 OS, I downgraded the Arduino back to 1.8.9 (but in the same directory where the previous version was installed than uninstalled - I have done this before reading your reply) and it works with the previous version.

	It seems that changing to No IDE in Visual Micro also solved the compilation issues on VS2015
