I can't compile
Jan 31^st, 2021 at 11:16pm

I am really very demoralized, I am trying to use Visual Micro, first with Microchip Studio then with Visual Studio now again with Microchip Studio, but I have problems.

I have an example I compiled with arduino IDE, I'm trying to bring it into Microchip Studio.

I can import it, but when I try to compile it it gives me an error: File name or extension too long.

In the attached file there is the interminable output of Micro Build, at the end there is the error, it is written in Italian because the PC is set in Italian.

In Visual Studio I haven't this error, but the program crash frequently.

Thank you for help

This has gone over the 32k character limit for command lines, hence the error about it being too long. Would it be possible to upgrade Visual Micro to the latest version available from the top of the below board, and try a Clean Build? https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

Ok, I have downloaded the file: Visual.Micro.Microchip.Studio_21_01_06_2_v2Installer.zip I changed the extension in .vsix and double click on it.
(Correct? Otherwise I don't know how install)
The installation was ok.

How can I see the number of version of Visual Micro installed? Just to check.

Microchip Studio - Build - Clean Solution (no Clean from vMicro submenu?)

Microchip Studio - vMicro - Build

Now the error is different: Error linking for board Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

If I open the same file, ProvaEth.ino with Arduino IDE I can compile without errors.

I uninstalled everything and started over.

Visual Studio: vs_Community.exe, at the beginning of installation there are many optional workloads, I choose only "Desktop development with C++", correct? And the english pack because the default is italian. Only these?

Arduino IDE: arduino-1.8.13-windows.exe, downloaded from https://www.arduino.cc/en/software, link DOWNLOAD OPTIONS: Windows Win 7 and newer

I open Visual Studio - Extensions - Manage Extensions - Online - Arduino IDE for Visual Studio (Visual Micro) - Download - and proceed with installation.

Now the Visual Studio System Info is attached here.

I'm sorry, I hadn't seen the note "NOTE - The the Windows Store App Arduino application is NOT supported." and didn't imagine there were different versions of Arduino IDE and from the official Arduino page I had unintentionally arrived in the Windows Store.

Hope now is ready and ok.

Now to complete the installation I need to have Atmel-ICE working.

Thank you
Livio

Now that you are setup properly, please start a new thread for any issues. Thanks
