I recently bought an ATMEGA2560 and an ArduinoISP. I want to explore programming directly through the ICSP connector. I can't get the IDE to see the ArduinoISP. I've spent the afternoon googling and trying several different solutions to no avail.
I can upload sketches using USB, but can't upload the sketch or a bootloader using the ISP.
Here's the error messages I get.
Bootloader:

I'm on a windows 10 64 bit machine. The Arduino site does say the ISP was retired. Is it possible the problem is the ArduinoISP is no longer usable by the latest IDE?
This is the ISP I have:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
