Title: I can not install the bootloader in Vista 64.
Post by: zuazons on May 13, 2009, 09:54:27 PM
I bought Axon MCU, but I can not install the bootloader in vista 64 (Fboot v1.7.exe).

Could someone help me?

Thanks,
Neptali

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that may be a 32 bit .exe

It is 32bit. Is there a 64 bit alternative?

I know too little about Vista 64 to help you . . . this guy seems to just use a hardware programmer:

I am using Windows 7 RC with the Vindows XP virtual machine to do all my work.

I do all the programming in AVR in Windows 7, build it, then hop over to my virtual XP window and run the boot loader from there. It's not ideal, but it works just fine.

So, if you don't mind upgrading to beta software that will expire next year grab Windows 7 and use that. :) I like it a hell of a lot more than Vista.
