What version of Visual Studio do you need to work with Arduino?


You need to install the Visual Studio 2013 Free (Community Edition) or higher prior to installing Visual Micro, the Arduino IDE.

Visual Micro can be installed from here:
http://www.visualmicro.com/page/Arduino-Visual-Studio-Downloads.aspx

There are lots of versions, OS dependencies, etc. read carefully what you are downloading.
Visual Micro, the latest Arduino IDE version 163+ installs an .msi file (arduinoforvisualstudio.msi).
This file must be installed to work with Arduino projects with Visual Studio IDE.
