Hello,

I am wishing to try Visual Micro with Visual Studio community 2017 but I can't select a board

While Visual micro Explorer Manage bords seem to be able to find them

I also get this error message when when i rescan

Operating System: Windows 10 Professional
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 Version 15.6.5
Arduino IDE for Visual Studio Version 1803.26.0
Arduino GDB for Visual Micro 2017 Version 15.170821.1
Arduino version 1.8.5


I am starting programming so I hope this is not a to much stupid question ^^'

The path is D:\Utilitaire\Arduino

if i let the sketchbook empty i can't use a board and i can't open arduino project without getting a message "Please configure the location of arduino your sketchbook folder by running arduino.exe once"

Once i run "arduino.exe"

i get 

"Error during processing of the command. Please review or post the stack trace in the www.visualmicro.com forumThe path is not of a legal form. (Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper.SolutionOpenArduinoSketch)
System.ArgumentException: The path is not of a legal form.

I am starting to guess this is the mistake i can't save arduino with my other software ?

2/ yes arduino.exe is in the folder i have add it in my previous message (edit: https://imgur.com/RvWednr)

(the first post remove was save by mistake ^^')

It is: "D:\Utilitaire\Arduino Libraries"

Screenshoot of my preference: https://imgur.com/z47FPVz

I don't see any difference i can still not select a board and when I try to open an arduino project i get the same message

Also when i open Visual Micro explorer i get this (but this like this since the sketchbook path is remove )

Edit: with administrator and Antivirus software disable, I get the same result


I give the message Error in output in case i am missing something but it seem to be the same.

I've never heard of this problem before.

Please try to take the space out of "arduino libraries" and see if that helps

Rename the folder using windows explorer and change arduino ide file>prefs then restart visual micro

A space is normally okay but something strange is happening.
