WORKED FINE on win 8.1
thanks

Thanks, Roger. This works great, but I ran into some trouble getting the mDNS example working. I'd like to be able to disconnect the ESP from my computer and connect to it by esp8266.local, but I haven't had any success, even on multiple different networks. Any ideas what could be going wrong?

Thanks,

Error compiling.

I followed the instructions, ESP8266 appeared in Boards selection, but esptool did not.
