I uninstalled my previous IDE version 1.8.9 because I have tried to get the IDE to see the drivers which I downloaded and launched on my computer, (following the direction for that particular board). Five days later and late nights, ended in Zero results. So I decided to download your new web style IDE. The first step ended with some issue regarding "PLUG IN's".

Please can you help.
