	starting with the latest version I am getting an argument out of range exception when i attempt to burn the bootloader. System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index at System.ThrowHelper.ThrowArgumentOutOfRangeException() at processing.app.debug.AvrdudeUploader.burnBootloader(Board boardPreferences, String programmerName) I'm using an USBTinyISP, Arduino Uno. this did not happen on the previous version, but i uninstalled and reinstalled the old version and it is happening then also. it does not appear the uninstall worked right, because the micro apps combo box still appears when I reinstall the old version, that box was new with the current one. currently installed version is 1.1309.11 writing an actual program via the programmer seems to work, just not burning the bootloader. please help!

	Hi Mike, Please shutdown all ide instances then in "add or remove programs" uninstall Visual Micro for Arduino. Then run the latest installer. If when the ide opens the user interface is wrong then click Tools>Reset User Interface" If there is a still a problem please post and I will give you a couple of other steps but it is probably more likely that the upgrade failed to overwrite some files. The uninstall and reinstall will give a clean vm system. Thanks

	Thank you for the quick response! I tried the steps suggested but I still have the same error while attempting to burn the bootloader.

	Hi Mike, Yes in the last couple of versions we have added support for arduino 1.5. The design of 1.5 allows for different programmers for each architecture so when you select a board the list of programmers (on the menus) is changed to be in context with the architecture of the board (avr/sam etc.) It sounds like the burning of the bootloader is broken but we will test during this weekend. In the meantime please burn the bootloader using the Arduino Ide and sorry for the hassle. Thanks

	Fixed in the next release due over the next couple of weeks. Thanks again for the report.
