After recent update I get the error trying to flash Portenta H7:

Error merging hex booloader: no colon char on the first line character
# Copy build result to 'Project>Property Pages>Intermediate Directory'
# Destination: "file:///[...]/Debug/"

Error during processing of the command. Please review or post the stack trace in the www.visualmicro.com forumObject reference not set to an instance of an object. (Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper.SketchCompileUpload)

Hi,

Please follow the guide in yellow above.

The build output might show something else but after sending the output, a possible short term workaround might be to switch off "vMicro>Compiler>Copy Build Output to Intermediate" and vMicro>Compiler>Export Binary"

The build log is attached.
Disabling copying doesn't solve the issue. The error happens on "merging hex bootloader", not on copying. So, I have to roll back the version.
BTW there is a typo in the error message (it's "booloader").

Thanks for the report. This is hopefully resolved in the LATEST update available from this forum https://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?board=VS_ARDUINO_EXT_RELEASES

The update will also be pushed to the microsoft gallery over the comming day or so.
