Development Tools IDE 1.x

Trying to run the first example (Blink) from from Genuino 101, Andriuno 1.6.9 version. I g0t the following error while uploading the sketch.

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "{path}/bin/avrdude": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Any ideas?

Thank you.

A bunch of people have had IDE 1.6.x problems, including IDE crashes and bizarre compile errors, when they had a previous 1.5.x/1.6.x installation. At least some of those problems seem to be caused by out-of-date executables that the IDE saves outside the IDE installation directory. Perhaps that is what is causing your particular problem. In such cases it appears that the fix is to delete or rename the old "Arduino15" directory and re-install 1.6.x.

On Mac OS X:
/Users/(username)/Library/Arduino15

On Windows:
C:\Users(username)\AppData\Roaming\Arduino15

On Linux:
/home/(username)/.arduino15 (a.k.a. ~/.arduino15)
