Tofugin:
- Once I downloaded the avrdude.config file for windows (I run Windows 7), it closes immediately the second I click on it, it flashes the cmd screen but dissappears immediately, how do I overcome that?
Run it from the command line (cmd).

2) I tried the manual coding on the file viewer, then tried using the cmd with the code: avrdude -c usbtiny -p attiny85 and my response is always erroring to:'avrdude' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That means you're trying to run AVRDUDE from a folder that does not contain avrdude.exe. You need to supply the full path to avrdude.exe. You can find this path by doing the following:
- (in the Arduino IDE) File > Preferences > Show verbose output during > upload (check) > OK
- Sketch > Upload
- Wait for the process to finish (it doesn't matter if it fails as long as the upload is attempted)
- Examine the output in the black console window at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window for the avrdude command that was run. This will contain the full path to avrdude.exe. You may need to scroll up the console window to find the command.
