I have downloaded the flowcode v8 for a 30 day trial, I have written several simple programs for the Arduino, Now the problem is I can not download it into the Arduino.
I have downloaded the AVR tool chain, but I still get the error AVR not downloaded,
Can anyone help.
Am I meant to put the avr file in a specific place ? There is sim;ply no information about this

Hi Alan,
Have you read this thread?

The AVR tool chain is in the correct place, for some reason if I try to compile say into Hex it just says AVR tool chain not in stalled. This is a real shame as I'm evaluating it for my company and so far the support has not been good .

Hello Alan

Have you installed the avr compiler to a local folder on your hard drive. It might not work correctly installed into a network drive.

If this isn't the case can you tell us more about your setup?

It's on a stand alone lap top . I have checked the tool chain for AVR is in the correct place which it is.
When I try to compliment code it says AVR not installed.
It's installed in program filesx86. Flowcode V8 flowcode common compilers act.
Really stumped on this one

Hello,

It's probably worth using Regedit to double check that the compiler installer has correctly inserted the necessary registry keys.

You're not running anything like System Mechanic or other Registry cleaning software are you? If you are then I would highly advise against using them as they will cause you no end of pain for the few microseconds of optimisation they provide.

If you haven't used Regedit before then be very careful, it is very easy to totally break your computer using Regedit.

Click Start and Run and type in Regedit.exe then click OK.

Browse to "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\MatrixTSL\Flowcode\Common"

And you should get something like below with the compiler toolchains you have installed.
Can you confirm the keys are present and pointing to the correct file location for your installed files. If the registry keys are not there then it's worth uninstalling and reinstalling the toolchain to see if this can help to fix things.

I don't think its that as I've just down loaded flowcode on to my works pc and it is doing excactly the same. Now I down loaded the AVR tool chain to the correct location, I f I say compile to Hex or C it says AVR compiler is not installed.
I know I havnt done anything wrong as the location is the default setting of the download. Has anyone else actually tried this to check its not a bug?
I have untill the end of the week to sort it

Crazy thing, just tried it on my laptop again for about the 100th time and it now compiles, I haven't changed anything . Thanks so much for your help
