Running Windows 8 and updating my Plus from 4.1 to 4.2. I managed to get through all the steps in about 15 minutes. Had MFDeploy showing me the new firmware. I was so happy with myself. I then went to deploy my program from VS to the netduino, and that's when the fun started. The deploy started and then was hanging. To make a long story (2 hours) short, I managed to get at least 75% of the errors in this thread as I went through debugging the problem. I'm finally able to deploy. A few hints... Rebooting my PC between device manager changes made a huge difference. Things that wouldn't work magically did after a reboot (obviously since this is Windows). And when unplugging the netduino and plugging it back in, I found i needed at least a 10s pause, otherwise it would show up as an unrecognized device. This led me to perform all sorts of unneeded steps. So throw in some reboots, and count to 10, slowly.
