If I follow the steps in the below link and download those versions of software will it work on windows 8.1? If not I am going to install a Windows XP VM and run things that way. I would prefer to install directly on 8.1 but not if it will be a hassle to get things working.

Thanks.

Well I have my answer and it will not. You will get all sorts of errors and I gave up trying to resolve them all. Back to installing a Windows XP VM.

Can definitely do AVR Studio 4 (4.19, iirc) + WinAVR (for compiling code) on Windows 7, so I expect that would work on Windows 8/8.1.
To program it, I'm not sure there's a way other than using a hardware programmer and the corresponding interface in AVR Studio. Generally the newer Atmel Studio 6 takes a bit more work to get working... so I tend to do my coding in a better editor (e.g. Notepad++) and just use AVR Studio 4 for compiling/uploading. (Or you can go the command line route with avrdude, which comes with WinAVR)
Hope that helps! If you're still stuck, I can give it a try on my Surface Pro...

Hi,
I have tried studio 4 and it installed ok on 8.1 but could not compile code due to errors recieved (0xc000142) using winavr.
-
That was the same problem I had. I can install all the software without a problem but it fails when trying to compile code. I was getting some program fails it relied on. One was rm.exe I think and the other was something with winavr. I uninstalled everything and I am now setting up an XP VM.
Thanks for the replies.

Atmel studio 6 and winAvr not working ?

AVR-GCC doesn't work with Windows 8.1 (I believe it worked under Windows 8 though). IIRC it has to do with the AVR-GCC's make and a few websites have posted alternative builds of make.exe but I have not tried them to confirm that they work.

If and when you guys figure it out, let me know and I'll update the instructions.
I'm still on an XP machine as I really don't want all my software to become dysfunctional . . .

I have tested a fix, and while it has not yet been tested thoroughly, it appears to be working so far. Replace the file msys-1.0.dll in the WinAVR utils/bin directory with this 64 bit Vista .dll (http://www.madwizard.org/download/electronics/msys-1.0-vista64.zip).
