I keep getting the error
exec: "C:\Users\Valued Customer\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7/bin/avr-g++": executable file not found in %PATH%
When trying to upload a sketch.

bradfors, welcome to the forum !

There is insufficient information to make a determination and you might benefit from reading the `How to get the best out of this forum post.

In the meantime, it would be helpful if you could you provide the following information:

  • which version of the IDE are you using?
  • which board are you compiling for?
  • is the AVR boards package installed in the IDE?
  • does the path "C:\Users\Valued Customer\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc" exit on your system?

For readability, please put code and error messages within CODE tags.

That is the compiler; you should get the same error when you do a verify (compile). You can check if it indeed exists in the given directory or not.

Your virus scanner might have quarantained it; check the logs of the virus scanner and take the appropriate action.

Lastly it can be a corrupt installation. The easiest way is probably to downgrade the AVR board package, test and next upgrade again.

Thanks,

That worked. I turned virus protection off, uninstalled the AVR board package then reinstalled and it uploads fine now.

Best
