So, I installed Qtouch library and Qtouch composer. And now my install of Atmel studio 6 has no ASF.
I'm pretty sure ASF used to show up as installed in my extensions list, but now it's just not there. Either as something installed, or something installable.
I got some dialog when installing the Qtouch studio about an "invalid authorisation"? (or something like that? maybe a word like "reference" or something else) I dismissed it and kept going, then when I restarted studio6 to run with the new extensions, I noticed the ASF button was missing....
On further investigation, there was no trace of ASF anywhere in the IDE. even the old options in the start page to start a new project importing ASF examples is gone!
More fun - after a reboot, Atmel studio 6 again is crashing on any attempt to open a file or compile, and disabling VAssistX does not fix it. |

Cool - If it makes its way back to atmel eventually, and not just microsoft then I'll make a point of sending crash info whenever I'm prompted. I always figured the option to send crash info back to microsoft was going to be a waste of bandwidth.
I'm feeling like my particular problems are unusual and not related to anyone else's issues, so wondering if I should be just giving up on it working on my computer - my computer is a bit old (it's a centrino laptop unning XPsp3. It's about 7 years now I think!) and while it works OK (for everything except atmel studio, at least) I've been tempted to replace it anyway because it is pretty slow. running Eclipse for android development is pretty wait-y too. That, and I really like windows 7.
So - before I get a new laptop, any hints on how I can install ASF back into my copy of studio 6 when it doesn't recognise the existence of ASF any more? or is this going to be another uninstall/reinstall dance?
Also - I know this is the AVR forums, and I am really only planning on using atmel studio 6 for ARM development at the moment. Is there a better place I can get support and be involved with ongoing bug catching than this forum? At least this forum on avrfreaks is dedicated to atmel studio... The atmel ARM site is a bit of a quiet place, and there's not much going on with atmel studio 6 over there that I could find.
thanks, and sorry for the non-avr specific noise. |

Crash reports that you submit via the windows reporting system go into a database at Microsoft. This database is available to us for bug-recreation, and statistics. I recommend you always report crashes. The frequency and severity give input to which order we should fix issues in...
Regarding ARM vs AVR in this forum: This is the traditional AVR forum yes, but we do need a place to vent issues and issue requests for the ARM support in Studio. For Studio this is currently the only place I know of, other than the Atmel support channels. There may be several opinions about this, but personally I heartily welcome what you dub "noise"  |

Thanks OKB, glad you don't consider it noise because there really is no better site I've found for Atmel studio 6 discussion than here on the AVRfreaks site.
PS, I'm still really keen to hear any solution for getting ASF back into my installation of Atmel studio 6, without reinstalling everything.... Haven't managed to buy a new laptop yet. |

You can send PM,
These are Atmel Studio installation log files, I think it may not have any sensitive information.

Try to find the temp folder that is specific to the logged on user. It could be "C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Temp"
Where <user_name> is the logged on user in your win xp machine. |

I'd suggest a quicker way of finding your TEMP folder is:
Code:
C:\[i386_vc]>set | grep T*MP=
TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\clawson\LOCALS~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\clawson\LOCALS~1\Temp
C:\[i386_vc]>
