	I have 2 projects in a solution. They have the same upload settings, however, the 2nd will not upload. Neither of them will allow a bootloader burn, but the errors are different. I tried restarting the IDE but get the same problem. As far as I can tell all of the VM settings are the same between the 2 projects, but these are the results: PROJECT #1: Compilation: Code (C++) Compiling 'halloweentoy841_2_reduced_menu3_tabs1_orig' for 'ATtiny441/841 (No bootloader)' Build Folder: educed_menu3_tabs1_orig/ATTinyCore_attinyx41/Debug" Program size: 7,166 bytes (used 87% of a 8,192 byte maximum) (2.50 secs) Minimum Memory Usage: 313 bytes (61% of a 512 byte maximum) Uploading 'halloweentoy841_2_reduced_menu3_tabs1_orig' to 'ATtiny441/841 (No bootloader)' using 'USBtinyISP SLOW (ATTinyCore)' The upload process has finished.

	I noticed there are significant differences in the .vcxproj files, I included them here. As far as I know and see in the menus however, all the settings for compiling and uploading the sketches should be the same. Any help is appreciated.

	Can you confirm that in the second project, a programmer is selected, and the vMicro > Upload > "Enable Programmer for Upload (instead of Port/IP)" is also enabled? I can only replicate this when the Enable Programmer is not selected in the second project, but once this is enabled it attempts the upload as expected.

	Yes, I select and deselect "Enable Programmer" from the menu and reselect the programmer as well and get the same error. I have been switching between the 2 projects by right clicking the project and selecting "Set as Startup project", is the right way to do this? I tried saving all files after selections but no difference. This problem may have started after I tried to setup GDB for debugging. I thought at first this was available for all AVRs so I had tried it with the 841. So something may have happened there, but I didn't change anything that wasn't listed in the Instructable. The problem might be related to the way I added the 2nd project. I wanted to make a 2nd version of the existing project, so I copied the files to a new directory using Windows explorer and renamed them. Then I think I used "open existing arduino project" to add them. Is this the proper procedure? It seems maybe VM isn't responding to some button selections? I attached the verbose output of the compiler and uploader and a screenshot. Thanks.

	Here's the Burn Bootloader Verbose Output:

	Maybe you should click the "Enable Programmer" button on the tool bar or on the vMicro>Upload menu? It looks that that board doesn't support serial upload. tip Make sure the .ino code is active from the intended project before making your programmer selection. The default mode for Visual Micro is that the solution explorer is ignored when determining which project is selected. The .ino wins. You can change this behaviour to allow the selection of the solution explorer to "win" (see the "vMiro>General")

	Thanks. I did try the enable programmer button lots of times. Not sure what happened but it is all fixed now, I stopped changing the Start-up project.
