Please let me expand the question....

Yes I found the board manager
Yes I ran the blink on the Galileo... no problems
But
When I run the WiFi Scan Networks sketch, I get:
ScanNetworks.ino:12:18: fatal error: WiFi.h: No such file or directory

If I hook up a plain Uno... it uploads fine and gives me a "No WiFi shield present"

Thanks

Hi Tim,

I tried to send you the stuff but I got a the following sent back to me

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at bounce.mail.unifiedlayer.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Thanks for the info.

Before I look into this can you confirm the example builds and uploads okay using the arduino ide to the gen2

Thanks

The is a new release of visual micro which overrides library architecture for libraries that are located below the platform/toolchain folder.

The intel libraries have an invalid architecture so were filtered out

It should be finding spi.h. Where did you download the arduino ide from?
The folder and is not the issue

I am not entirely clear about all the different options that Intel have produced. I can only tell you what I know about.

1)  Intel used to produce a cut down version of the old arduino ide (pre 1.6). It's now discontinued as far as I am concerned unless someone tells me it has advantages over 2)

2) Subsequent to arduino 1.6 Intel have produced new cores that can be installed via the arduino ide>Boards Manager. In the boards manager you will see the Intel core for the Edison and Gallileo. Click to install which then gives both the arduino ide and Visual micro the Intel boards to use.

3) User libraries can be installed using the "Visual Micro>Install Library" menu and then Tools>Visual Micro>reload toolchains" will redetect changes (or re-start the ide). If you install manually you will find them below the libraries sub folder of the "sketchbook" folder. The sketchbook folder usually defaults to "mydocuments\arduino" but you can change it (not advisable)

Hope that helps

Howdy All,

Well, after a day of mostly errors to the point of not even being able to upload blink, I finally got everything to work as it should. 

First I had to do a real clean uninstall of all versions of the Arduino IDE and the Intel software/drivers. Some directories would not allow me to delete them until I used Unlocker. I even deleted all my unused com ports... just to be thorough. 

Then I discovered I had two Intel installers that I had dl'd. 

1) w_galileo_2015.0.010.exe
2) iotdk_galileo_win_installer.exe

I'm not sure of the difference, but I ended up using the latter. 

Now VS+VM work fine... being able to upload Blink and a few of the WiFi examples
