	I may have setup my project incorrectly.� When I look at the project properties they are related to win32 rather than Arduino.� No place to turn on debugging like the intro video.� Can you tell me what I did wrong?� The compile and upload for blink look fine and the addition of debug code and compile look OK. I have trace 'when hit msgs defined.

	I have another clue to my problem. I have received the following error message when opening any project. " Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.08" <CR> " ERROR: ERROR HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component". I wonder if my install is corrupt now and I need to re-install all the Micro Visual software?

	Can I assume from the error that you are using Visual Studio 2008? It is possible that you have not installed C++ for your Visual Studio 2008 system? Visual Micro hijacks the standard win32 c++ intellisense system so when you open or create an Arduino project the system expects to be able to use the C++ system. Therefore it is correct to see win32 but no error Finally you should ignore the project property pages and simply press F4 or "View>Properties Window" when a project is selected in the solution explorer. This should show the properties tool window that appears in the video on the debugger page?

	It is VS2008 Pro and I have C++ installed.� New Arduino projects always give me the COM error noted in previous post. I also noticed, if I ignore the error message and proceed, there is no 'Compile' tab at top. I notice a 'cygwin' path in the attributes which points to my Cygwin directory on my win7/64 machine (is this a problem?)� I think I may have to start over with both your Arduino plug in and the debugger plug in.� I suppose removing both before re-installing would be wise.� Any suggestions on procedures to remove and re-install?� Thanks.

	Did you try running the install then clicking repair?

	I have tried many approaches to eliminating the 'ERROR HRESULT E_FAIL' problem to no avail.� I decided to try using Visual Micro with Atmel Studio 6.1.2674-sp1.� I downloaded Arduino 1.5.2, then Atmel 6.1, then VisualMicro msi.� I installed Arduino and tested (OK), then Atmel Studio6.1 and tested (OK).� Then executed Visual Micro msi.� Afterward, 'the Atmel Studio - tools - options' did not contain a Visual Micro directory and appears to not be aware of Visual Micro.� What did I do wrong?� I am sorry to be so poor at getting things setup .� I do appreciate the help I am getting, especially from Tim. BTW, I have Visual Studio 2008 Pro and Atmel Studio 6.1.2674-sp1 on my Win7/64bit machine.� Does the directory hierarchy need to be specific?� Can VM handle both on same machine? When I get something working correctly, I want to activate my debugger license on the working IDE (is the license valid for both IDEs on one machine?) Thanks

	Hi, The debugger license can be activated in any VS/Atmel Ide and will apply to all. I assume your vs 2008 is working okay but only have a problem in Atmel Studio? It sounds like the installer is failing. Please install 1305.21 of Visual Micro by clicking the downloads at the top of visualmicro.com This will take you to our codeplex site. Click DOWNLOADS>Visual Micro for Arduino Beta Channel and you will see 1305.21. Thanks

Thanks I assume your vs 2008 is working okay but only have a problem in Atmel Studio? Yes, the error message is from 'Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.08' and says 'Error: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component' so a VM dynamic link library is receiving a problem from a COM component.� I do not know how to fix that.� I hesitate to delete and re-install my VS 2008 because it has been many years working on windows applications with the current install and I perceive too much risk messing with that. It sounds like the installer is failing. Please install 1305.21 of Visual Micro by clicking the downloads at the top of visualmicro.com I have been using 1305.21 and the problem persists. This will take you to our codeplex site. Click DOWNLOADS>Visual Micro for Arduino Beta Channel and you will see 1305.21. Thanks Good news! I found a post under Atmel Studio Beta forum that said 'check Tools>options>addins/macro security>locations.'� I found no entry for Visual Micro, so I added a path to VM and that fixed the problem.� I have run a small program I wrote and all works including Debug!� Happy days!� Back to S/W development.� I still can not use Visual Studio, although it worked previously.� Perhaps I can get it working someday with a future version of VM. In any case, I am happy to be back to program development...current project is an incubator for chickens with temp and humidity control and data logging. Thanks for all your help

	Hi, Great that was going to be my next suggestion to check the macros and security path. You certainly will not need to re-install VS. But also in VS try to create a new empty win32 C++ project without using the vm options. Does this show an error? Your project sounds fun, thanks for persisting.
