Configure IDE Locations

Arduino IDE 2.3.4 Works fine. Installed VM in VS2022. It does not see the boards or libraries. When I try to change Locations, Arduino 1.6/1.8 comes up. If I change it to 2.0 and proper location,...when I hit OK, it does not remember them.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
Abbott

Thanks for the report.

Can you show a screenshot of what you are trying to save when configuring the Arduino 2 Locations (before you click OK)?

Once set please attach a full build output as a text file with the below options enabled:
  • vMicro > Compiler > Verbose
  • vMicro > Compiler > Show Build Properties


When using the Arduino2 Configuration in Visual Micro, the board and library locations should be automatically detected, so there should be no need to set them on the IDE Location screen.

Here are the screens before changes (11.8) and before save. Also, after installing hardware (Heltec ESP32 ..., no boards show in dropdown.

Since I can't get screenshots of vmicro drop down here is  the vMicro line. Also User Installed and builtin libraries are empty.
Was able to add ESP8266 but this is Heltec ESP32??
If I uninstall vmicro, what folders should I manually delete before I reinstall.
Here's the results of a Build & Upload the works in Arduino.
Compiling 'SimpleDemo' for 'Generic ESP8266 Module(esp8266_generic)'
Build Folder: elease"

From the screenshots:
1) The location F:\Arduino\hardware, is this where the Arduino 2 IDE has been configured to download the board packages to?
You can check the C:\Users\YourUserName\.arduinoIDE\arduino-cli.yaml file for the settings the Arduino2 IDE is using (or attach it here).  These should be used automatically, so no entries should be needed on the IDE Locations screen.

2) When the screen has refreshed it has changed back to the 1.6/1.8 IDE, are the locations still there if you re-select the "Arduino2" option?
