I've just downloaded newest Arduino for VS version 1401.01.
When I tried to install it (using regular double click or Run as Admin) I got message the installation needs DLL that is missing.
Seems like you have some custom installer that my system is not ready for.
I have Windows 7 64-bit with VS 2008, VS 2010 and VS 2012 installed + VS 2013 Express Edition.
I am really interested in your Arduino plugin.

It's strange because I have installed every .net framework starting with 2.0 and ending with 4.5.1. And I am actively using them for various developments.
Is it possible that this msi error is related to 64-bit version of Windows 7? What tool did you use to create msi? Maybe I can check this?

I've just tried to run it with virus check off but it didn't help. I would really appreciate if you could, whatever your timeframe, to create it without .net version check - as you suggested. I am really interested in it and if it works I would be your customer for debugger.

The error occurs just in the beginning, before any other window supposed to be shown. And after seeing error and clicking OK - installation program silently quits.
I have full version of .net 3.5 - I was heavily developing with asp.net 3.5.

Nice idea but it would mess up too much stuff, the setup project is large because it handles all vs versions.

What is the full error please? + dll name if it is displayed

Thanks. That looks like a windows installer error. I googled it these possible solutions although I don't think item 1 applies to your op sys

1. Update Windows Installer following the instructions from this Microsoft Article:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=889482fc-5f56-4a38-b838...

2. Change the permissions to full access to:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\ or C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp\

1. Open Windows Explorer are locate the mentioned folder above.
2. Right click on the folder, the Local Properties pop up window will appear.
3. Select the tab Security.
4. Click Edit,  the Permissions for Local pop up window will appear.
5. On Group or user names, select the desired user.
6. Ensure that the Allow check box for Full control is activated, else activate it.
7. On the Permissions for Local pop up window, click OK (if no changes were made) or Apply (if changes were made).
8. On the Local Properties pop up window, click OK (if no changes were made) or Apply (if changes were made).

If it doesn't work we will try to make a .net4 installer over the next month. Look forward to hearing if this helps. Out of interest what happens if you run the installer as admin from somewhere like mydocuments
