Problem Installing Arduino Zip Library (Read 5277 times)

	I just installed Visual Studio 6.2 and Arduino IDE 1.65. The libraries that come with the IDE seem to work, but I'm trying to add 2 additional libraries (VTSerial and EEPROMEx) from downloaded zip files. They worked fine in the old Arduino IDE v.1.06, when I try to install them in Visual Studio I get an error message "unable to move library from temp to C:\libraries\documents\arduino\libraries\EEPROMEx" The directory exists. Any suggestions on what dumb mistake I'm making?

	Not sure but it is just a matter of unpacking them to "document\arduino\library\lib1" "lib2" etc. Will do some testing over the next week. Did you see if the libs are in the Library manager that is an alternative for install.

	Thanks for your reply. I think I may have found at least part of the problem. I deleted the setting for where user programs are stored (there was a comment suggesting leaving it blank since it also affects libraries) Now it sees the old version of these files (actually the same as the zip files I was trying to upload) they appear in the user library. I'm about to conduct some experiments to see if it really works.

	Hi Roy, Yes Arduino user libraries are stored off the libraries folder under the sketch book. It's recommended to be left empty because users don't understand its importance. If the sketcbook folder is empty then the default is used or the setting from the arduino ide file>preferences if that has been set. It's possible you had an invalid folder specified so now you have cleared it things should work better

	It is working now, I haven't had the need to install another library yet, hopefully that will go smoothly.
