Installing AVRStudio4 on Windows 7 64bit

I needed to compile some code for a Bioloid (CM-510) so I needed AVRStudio4 (downloadable here, needs register, 116mb) and I had a problem, when I executed the installation it won’t continue, the installer minimizes to the taskbar, and nothing else happens at all.

The workaround for installing it its disable UAC of Windows 7 (reboot, systems tells you to do so) and execute again the installer. (You might want to enable UAC again and reboot).

Found the solution here .

How to change the MTU over Windows Vista/7

To do this we’ll need to open a terminal, to do this I recommend to hit WindowsKey+R and write cmd and hit intro.

After this trivial step we’ll need to see our interfaces and their MTU:
netsh interface ipv4 show subinterfaces

To know the max size we can assign to our MTU we can try with:
ping www.REFERENCEWEB.com -f -l SIZE

And finally to set the MTU that we need we can execute:
netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "YOUR INTERFACE NAME" mtu=SIZE store=persistent
