Continuing on the theme of my last post, here are libusb-win32 drivers for the Atmel AVRISP mkII. Unlike the Atmel-supplied drivers, these support avrdude, and as a bonus they will install on the 64-bit version of Windows 7 without digital signature errors. Yes!
Note that if you want to use the AVRISP mkII with AVR Studio, these are not the drivers you are looking for. You want the ones Atmel provides (if you installed the libusb drivers by mistake, re-run the AVR Studio installer to revert back).

Thanks for your help Jeff. I finally got it installed over the weekend. Had to install the LibUSB Filter Driver to allow AVRDUDE to talk to the AVRISPmk2, since the Atmel Studio drivers apparently changed at some point and prevent AVRDUDE from being able to find the USB device, even if Atmel Studio is not running. See here:
2) Unpack the libusb zip and run the inf-wizard.exe in the bin folder AS ADMINISTRATOR3) Select the avrisp mkII from the list that appears when you run inf-wizard then click next through the wizard.4) When prompted select a place on your pc to save the .inf file that the wizard will create. (If you loose the file in the future you can simply repeat the task)5) When prompted click OK to install the driver.If required you can run the Atmel Studio 6.1 Jungo driver install again and revert to Atmel Studio drivers with the avrispmkII. It is probably also possible to switch back to arduino/avrdude mode by reapplying the .inf created in step 6) via device manager
Sorry about the formatting of the following, it is my fault and caused by conversion from ms word. This update was submiited by Brian M. It explains how to make both the Arduino and Atmel Studio Native commands to work using the same usb driver
Folks,Does this look like the right Programmer driver? All of a sudden I am not able to bootload 328Ps.This is the installed driver, the IDE is complaining about it.AVRISPMKiiDriver.JPG634715 60.2 KB
Did you try Atmel Studio recently? That replaces the AVRISP mkII driver with one that is incompatible with AVRDUDE. Years ago, when it happened to me, the Atmel Studio (AVR Studio at that time) driver was called "Jungo", but that might have changed.
I believe the driver traditionally used with AVRDUDE is libusb-win32, but I have been using the libusbK driver. That fixed the problem with the Arduino IDE's Tools > Burn Bootloader, where the AVRISP mkII doesn't reinitialize fast enough for the second avrdude command. That problem was also solved with the modern AVRDUDE version, but you might still find some Arduino boards platforms that haven't been updated to use the modern AVRDUDE version.
By the way, it is supposedly possible to have both the Atmel Studio and AVRDUDE-compatible drivers co-exist, though I haven't tried it because I no longer use Atmel Studio: -libusb-and-jungo-drivers-can-work-together
Awesome, thanks pert, that took care of it. I haven't used Atmel Studio in years, and last time I used my AVRISP MKii about a month ago I had no issues. The only since then was Windows dropping Win7 support, but I didn't think that impact existing drivers.
AVRDUDE is free software used to program AVR microcontrollers, including Arduino boards. It uses the free GNU LibUSB driver rather than the default Microchip driver used by Atmel Studio, so the first task is to change the driver.
Luckily, other people have solved this problem and there are free solutions that make this task much easier. Here we will use ZADIG, which is a free GNU USB driver installer, because it makes it really simple.
Its common that one needs to use a programmer from the Arduino IDE, but onWindows 10 things are not as simple. Many times the drivers installed are notcorrect hence the avrdude tool in the Arduino IDE refuses to work.
If you do not find, just go the Files section of the Sourceforge and go to the libusb-win32-releases folder. Select the latest version folder anddownload the file similar to the above.
I also tried an XP install via BootCamp - both the Win driver and AVRISP mkII drivers appeared in the device manager, and there was no Code 10 error, but I still received the "Connect failed" message on connect attempts from AVR Studio.
Under windows, find the device in the device manager, and go to it's properties. Find the Hardware IDs in the tabs, and add them in here, then we can try to point you to the right driver for the programmer. 2ff7e9595c
