Unable to create new sketch - SOLVED - Install C++ for VS 2015
Sep 12th, 2015 at 9:27am
 
Hi there,

I am having kind of a hard time setting up VisualMicro.
Whenever I try to create a new ArduinoProject I get the message: 

"Unable to create new sketch

Falscher Parameter. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))"

My setup:
- Visual Studio 2015 Community
- Arduino 1.6.5
- VisualMicro 1.1509.9
- Hardware: Arduino UNO Rev. 3

I worked my way through the getting-started page and did some troubleshooting. In the visual micro explorer I can see 30 libraries installed (and UNO is there as well).
I can not open an existing sketch that works in Arduino IDE either. It displays just a blank solution :/

Any ideas on what else I might try?
Is the problem with the community version of VS?

EDIT: I can open the examples. But I am unable to upload them, the buttons are greyed out. But the Arduino is recognized: Visual Micro -> Serial Port - > COM4 (Arduino Uno)

Hi,

Please see the first point on the FAQ. Vs 2015 does not install C++ as standard, you have to select it in the installer options.

Oh.. erm... yes. 
I really thought this was already on my machine.

Anyway, that fixed it for me. Thanks a lot!  Smiley

Have a nice weekend.

Hmm, the FAQ doesn't appear to say anything about this issue. The first item in the FAQ is about a path issue that seems unrelated. On the other hand, there are notices about this issue plastered all over the download pages. And somehow I was blind to them all  Roll Eyes

To clarify, you appear to need to install the "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" item. As far as I can tell, the "Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++" and "Windows XP Support for C++" are not required. Can someone confirm that those other two components are not needed?

Unfortunately the FAQ was overwritten yesterday with an older version! It has now been replaced.

If you have installed C++ and can create a new project then your install is correct.

Thanks
