visual micro board gray out and no board list

Installed the latest visual micro and debugger in visual studio 2010 ide.  But have no board list and board in dropdown is grayed out.  Arduino download ide works fine.  Using windows 8.1.  Any  ideas?  (Have an earlier version of visual micro installed on a different windows 7 computer with no problem.)

Hi,

If using Arduino 1.5 then please ensure you have used the Arduino 1.5.x location option in the Visual Micro options

Thanks

Got the board problem fixed.  Now my visual micro test case will not compile.  Get the following message:
"Compiling 'TestVisualMicro' for 'Arduino Uno'
CreateProcess*:No such file or directory
Error compiling"

Please confirm the exact path you have entered into the Ide location field?

Thanks

using "c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino"  as the path. Same as the path on my windows 7 pc that works when compling. But on my windows 8.1 desktop I get the compling error using the same path.

Hi,

If you have set a winAVR path in the tools>options>visual micro then please clear it.

Thanks

No winAVR path under tool chains, it is blank next to "avr"

Okay we have a stray path in your config somewhere probably from an older release. To save us to exploration time please do this...

The easiest fix is to close the Ide, open regedit.exe and delete the key "HK_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visual Micro"

Then re-start the ide and re-enter the Arduino IDE location when prompted.

Thanks

Please switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build properties" then run the compile again

For some reason Visual Micro has resolved the arduino tools for the Uno to "C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin" instead of "c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr"

Hopefully the build properties will show what and why

Thanks

Thanks for the info. Sorry about the delay.

Can you please look to see if you have a folder called ""C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin"

Thanks

Hi Jerry,

It sounds like that folder incorrectly exists on your machine. Visual Micro can use the location for custom hardware however in your case I suspect the folder exists by mistake?

In any event we will ensure that Visual Micro ignores it in future releases if it contains invalid tool chain files. Unless you have a reason for the folder to exist I suggest you remove or rename it then re-start the Ide and all will work.

nb: The folder is normally created when you install the arduino ide in the location where the ide is being installed to. So this suggests a previous arduino installation existed in your documents folder which would not be a good location because libraries etc might become confused

Thanks
