I am trying to run visual micro for a Teensy 3.1 on Win 8.0 with VS2010. I have installed the Arduino IDE and TeensyDuino and can compile and download in the Arduino IDE.
When I install Visual Micro and use VS2010. The Teensy is present and seen but,
1. I cannot see the options in the property window to set the board options as directed. The property list stops at "Validation Skip". (In Alpha order)
2. When I try a build it often fails( ? library itewms) not in scope) but not always. When the build succeeds the download fails!

I have done complete reinstallations and still the same problem - it also happens with Atmel studio 6.2. Something is not installing properly. Any ideas or advice welcome. Can give lots more detail but this might allow you to tell me how I am being stupid!

On another post I noticed a comment about permissions - I am logged in with supervisor rights. Any further advice on this?

Hi can you please supply an image of the files in the sketch folder.

The image you have provided below shows the sketchbook folder so all we see is directories.

What we see in your screen shot is an empty solution. Vs allows multiple projects in a single solution so it always starts with a solution.

Visual Micro should have automatically added a new project to the solution when the sketch was first opened or created.

It might indicate a permissions problem if Visual Micro fails to add a project to the solution

You can do this manually to try it out. Right click the solution name and click "Add>Existing project" then see if there is a vcproj (project) file in the test sketch folder. If there is a a project file then it should add to the solution without a problem? If it does then it should contain the .ino sketch sources if not right click the project and select "add>existing item" and select the master sketch.ino (test1.ino). This should leave you with a solution containing one project and your sources.

It is also possible that you do not have a version of VS with C++ installed in which case Visual Micro will not be able to create new projects. You can test this by click "File>New project" and then selecting to create an empty C++ Win32 project. This needs to work otherwise Visual Micro will not.

I hope this info help. A screen shot of the sketch folder will certainly help

Hi,

The read-only of the program files folder would make a big difference especially if you have set your sketch book folder to program files. Normally sketch book will default to mydocument/arduino so the setting is best left empt or changed to somewhere that has normal permissions.

You will certainly have issues if you try to save source code to program files.

The build clean is probably a result of compiler cache with previously incorrect or missing settings. There are some project options such as "Micro Optimization>Defines affect core" and "defines affect libraries" which you can switch on if you change the defines for Teensy regularly. We are considering making the default On but in the meantime either switch these on or do a Build>Clean after the defines change.

I don't think that anything else affected all of this.

Yes that makes sense. Will do thanks.
