OK, I fixed it.  In "Configure IDE Locations" I typed in 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr

into the fourth field, which is called "Optional physical folder for downloaded board packages"

You should leave that path empty. The built-in avr folder of an arduino installation is the wrong place for it.

It is simple to configure, only the IDE location for the 1.6-1.8 app needs to be configure to the folder where the arduino.exe is installed. When you installed Teensy it adds other files and folders below the hardware folder of the arduino installation you select during the teensy install.  Visual Micro discovers the installation because it adheres to the arduino 3rd part hardware standard,

Teensy does not use downloaded packages it has it's own bespoke install.

The issue you have had is that the arduino ide location is incorrect or you have the vMicro>App selection set to something other than the Arduino 1.6-1.8 app. This is why I wanted to see the vMicro menu.

If you have a standard arduino and teensy installation then the fact the change you made works probably meant that Visual Micro detected you wanted to use the 1.6-1.8 app and auto switched to it.

When a project is open the apps list is also visible on the tool bar. 

If you have continued problems then please always follow our request to show screen shot because otherwise things can take a long time to resolve.

The build output in the yellow box for a teensy build would be useful just so that we can clear up the issue with full understanding.

Thanks
