I am stuck in a problem that I am going to install the arduino library in proteus in my desktop to simply simulate this platform in proteus design suite 8. Unfortunately, when I search in proteus I cannot see the full arduino boards there.

I had the same problem. I solved it by copying the libraries in the folder "C:\ProgramData\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\LIBRARY".
Indeed, in the version of the Proteus software that I use, it is the default repertoire of libraries.

Hi: If someone still has problems with arduino libraries that do not appear in proteus, you have to copy them to the .. \ Proteus 8 Professional \ DATA \ LIBRARY folder, NOT to .. \ Proteus 8 Professional \ LIBRARY.

hi dear i had the same problem , just copy your arduino library and paste in this destination
(C:\Program Files (x86)\Labcenter Electronics\Proteus 8 Professional\BIN)
now all arduino boards will be show.

Windows UAC File and Registry Virtualization can, depending on settings, cause wacky behavior with files in protected locations (like program files), where depending on what privilege level a process is running as, different files or file contents will be seen (ie, a process run as admin will see different files, or different file contents than a process running without admin privileges). Particularly on Vista, where this was buggier, situations that should be impossible can occur. I have not a clue if this is relevant here, and this may be a total red herring, but whenever I have a program where I have to change things inside it's installation folder, I install it outside of program files to rule out this madness.

Proteus is garbage. As far as I am aware, basically anything that claims to simulate the behavior of a microcontroller (ie, including what the code does) is garbage. We often get people posting about a problem that turns up in a proteus simulation which, when running on the actual hardware, doesn't occur - the simulation does not reflect reality. There is really no substitute for prototyping your design and testing it there - I am of the opinion that proteus is a waste of time. A simulator that doesn't produce accurate results sends you wasting time chasing problems that exist only in simulations, and does not provide assurance that your design works.

The Proteus Design Suite is a complete EDA software solution for professional PCB design, comprising schematic capture, microcontroller simulation, and PCB layout. With this latest update to Ultra Librarian, Proteus users will be able to export symbols and footprints in the Proteus format from UltraLibrarian.com or the Ultra Librarian desktop software. Coinciding with the Ultra Librarian update, Labcenter is releasing Proteus version 8.8 that includes updates to their model import capability. In this new version, models are checked for compatibility with Proteus during import with the results shown on the import log. Also, large schematic parts can be split into multiple elements during the Proteus import process, and pins can also be rearranged in different positions around the component body.

Labcenter Electronics Ltd. was founded in 1988 to develop high quality, affordable CAD software. The first launch of the Proteus Design Suite followed soon after and a continuous focus on product development and innovation has evolved Proteus into one of the most cost effective, fully featured EDA packages on the market. With current sales in over 50 countries spanning the globe, Labcenter is continuously expanding both its product portfolio and its customer base. Labcenter Electronics Ltd. is headquartered in the UK and the Proteus Design Suite is sold through a worldwide network of distributors and directly on the Labcenter website.

I need Proteus to check some of the circuits I have been working on, but I couldn't find it in software center and its official site. I have just shifted from windows (where I had been using proteus), so don't know where else to search for it.

Although you may be successful in running it through WINE, there is no guarantee that all the features will work, especially since it is a software that requires a lot of libraries to simulate various microcontrollers etc.

looks like labcenter is not providing a linux version of their product.Search for alternatives or try using "Wine" to install the windows version.you can find how to use wine all over the internet.inshort:open software centersearch wineinstall wineopen command prompttype wine /path/to/install_file.exe

Yes, after installing wine 4.0 and nomo packages for playonlinux I proceed to install proteus 8.6 SP2 then asks to install Visual C++ 2008 whose installs without problem but the problems comes after that.

Following the installation of Visual C++ 2008 it says is installing Proteus, the instalation wizard of proteus finishes by saying the program was installed but it isn't listed in the playonlinux menu. I've followed the path through the folder where proteus is in /wineprefix/proteus 8.6 and the necessary files are there but I can only execute the program if I choose to execute PDS.exe with playonlinux by pressing right button of the mouse and choosing explicitly that option, then plaonlinux opens and execute the program without listing it in its window
