Troubleshooting step one, Arduino install.

[Cliff Karlsson]

Ok, I am having some wierd problems and don't know where to begin. So I am starting with step one, atduino/mysensors-libraries install.

To install everything I have done the following:

install arduino-1.6.6-windows to default location (C:\Program Files...)
unzip Arduino-development.zip into sketchbook location (C:\Users\Cliff\Documents\Arduino)
Answering yes to replace the existing files in C:\Users\Cliff\Documents\Arduino\libraries

When trying to complie for example the serial gateway-sketch I get this:

Error compiling.

So I started copying files/libraries directly to the arduino folder (C:\program files...) But what is the correct way to install? In the description for 1.5 it says to extract to the sketchbook location.

I also watched the youtube video that says to install to the arduino folder (C:\program Files...) And copied replaced the libraries from both the arduino master and arduino development into the arduino folder. And now I get:

Arduino: 1.6.6 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328 (3.3V, 8 MHz)"
