Compile ( verify ) problem with Windows XP

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

I am new to Arduino and do not have any previous micro controller experience.

PROBLEM

I have tried Arduino Uno with Ubuntu, successfully uploaded the sketches. Worked well.

But when I use the same board and cable with Windows XP, it fail to compile the sketch.

I tried to compile BLINK example and got following error message.

Arduino: 1.6.4 (Windows XP), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Cannot run program "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\arduino-nightly-windows\arduino-nightly\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-objcopy" (in directory "."): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Kindly some one help me to solve the problem.

Looks like your installation is bad. What version are you using?

3

I am having the same problem. Antivir just deleted a file that was supposed to be a trojan... maybe is that?

4

A critical file was removed - possibly, as olbapnairda suggested, due to an antivirus program getting a false positive.

If you can not set the antivirus to ignoring this file, then uninstalling it.
Next reinstall the arduino IDE.

If don't work post again :slight_smile:
