Would it be possible to include in the installation program the facility to create an icon for Cura on the desktop?
Thank you.

Now that the source files have been made available, is there any chance that a Windows 8 driver for the UM2 will be produced any time soon? I had to roll back to Windows 7 to get my UM2 to be seen when installing Cura.
Thanks.

There is no need to be rude!!!!!! It should just work, yes of course I know what simulate means. I don't know which driver I am meant to install as I don't know what board is in the Ultimaker 2.

This is getting me more and more confused by the minute, I've checked my BIOS and there is nothing in there about COM ports, I've asked the manufacturer about and am still waiting for a reply, if it turns out it is ok, what do I do within Arduino to get it to work?

I've realised what part of the problem may have been, my PC doesn't have it's com ports enabled, once I figure out how to do that it might work, sorry again!

Don't be afraid. Just try stuff.
Cura and the Arduino both come with the Arduino "driver".
When you installed Cura there should at one point have been a SEPERATE installer that launched and installed the "arduino driver". You may not have noticed it.
Did you check "device manager" to see if the arduino shows up as a "com" port versus a "USB unknwon device"?
If my instructions on launching device manager are no help, try googling "how do I launch device manager in windows 8.1".
As I said in my original post, the driver installation failed so Ultimaker support advised me to install the Arduino drivers separately. The 1st person to reply to my post told me what I needed to download which I have now done but I wan't to know how to make it work once installed. Thank you.

I'd really like to get this fixed as soon as possible so if anyone can answer my query I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply, yes windows does make the two note sound when I turn on the printer and again when I turn it off. Do I install Cura first and then the Arduino software or does it not matter? What do I need to do in the Arduino software to make it work or is it all automatic?
Thanks again for the help.

I've already asked the official support team about this but I thought I'd ask the wider community to see if I can get my issue fixed. I have a UM2 connected to a Windows 8.1 PC via USB 2.0. Installation of the device drivers when installing Cura fails and so I am unable to update the firmware. The Ultimaker support team have suggested installing the Arduino drivers separately but being completely new to the world of 3D printing this means nothing to me. Please can anyone give me a step by step guide to what I need to install and configure to enable me to get my printer firmware updated?
Thank you.

Hello, this is my first post on this forum as I have bought a UM2 which will be shipped soon. I have a question regarding the dual extruder which I hope someone can answer. I downloaded the user manual for the UM2 and noticed that there is only one slot on the back for a spool holder so how will this work with a dual extruder kit?
Thank you.
