Hi,
I am trying to program an Arduino Mini using an AVRISP MKII, on a Windows 7 machine. I am trying to use the Arduino software to burn a bootloader, instead of going through AVR studio. Is there a way to install the USB driver for AVRISP MKII without installing AVR studio, so that it won't conflict with the Arduino software?
Thank you.
Even if you install AVR Studio and the drivers for the AVRISP MKII the Arduino IDE still doesn't not see the AVRISP MKII.
To burn a bootloader onto my 1284P project I had to use an Arduino board and Arduino as ISP.

I've since found this info below:
Avrdude can't see the AVRISP MKII without having an extra driver installed. Here's the link:

After doing the install I can now use the AVRISP MKII from within the Arduino IDE.
