Can't program Aatiny45 using Arduino

I want to try out using the Aatiny45, so I followed this tutorial.
Yet, everytime I try an program it, I get this error:

Error while burning bootloader.

In that case you did something wrong. As we have no clue what exactly you did we have no chance to help you further.

I just thought to update so I don't create another dead useless forum post.

In this case, there was a known driver problem with my programmer, I use the AVR ISP MK.II.
If you're in the same situation, follow this :

  1. Download Zadig: http://zadig.akeo.ie/
  2. Plug in your AVRISP mkII
  3. Start Zadig
  4. From the dropdown menu, select "AVRISP mkII". If it doesn't show up on the menu, then select Options > List all devices and check again.
  5. Click the up or down arrows next to the Driver selection box on the right side until you see "libusbK".
  6. Click the Replace Driver button.
  7. After the driver installation process finishes, you can close Zadig.

If this doesn't fix your issue, in the Arduino IDE, go to prefrences and enable verbose output during uploading. Which should further detail your issue and help you resolve it.
