Cant load or start a new arduino project. - SOLVED - Install C++ for VS 2015
Aug 22nd, 2015 at 3:42am
 
I checked the FAQ as well as recent post but i havent seen anything that matches the error.

Windows 10
8/21/15 of Visual Micro
Visual Studio 2015  14.0.23107.0 D14REL

After much pain and cursing I was able to get VS2015 to install.  I have Visual Micro installed and see the menu options.

When I try to start a new Arduino Project I am prompted for a file name.  I enter a name and hit ok and then I get the following error  " The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESLT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG).  

Doing this creates a folder in the my documents and also creates a file with the proper name ie. test33.ino. 

After closing the error window my screen is blank, no sketch.  I can load the file I just created with no errors but again there is no Sketch window.

Sorry if I missed a solution to this but it eludes me.

Sorry I should have been a bit more clear.  The solution explore doesnt generate any of the sub sections for the project. 

The file created in the documents folder is the correct arduino starting code snippet.

Hi,

In Vs2015 Microsoft have made C++ an optional installation item. We have tried to make this clear by adding it as the first point in the FAQ, in !! marks on our download page, in red and also in large lettering on our visual studio gallery page Smiley

You need to go to control panel>add or remove programs>visual studio 2015>change and select c++ from the vs options.

You can't create or open Arduino projects (which are C++) if it isn't installed.

We are trying to find a way to see if C++ is installed when Visual Micro starts. Then we can put a more obvious dialog onto the screen with this info.

Thanks for the response.  C++ loaded and VisualMicro is working.  Now to get back to the FAQ for the other little items like typedefs Smiley


Again thanks for the help.
