I have read the new http://www.ethernut.de/en/isp/spduo.html,
but I think you have to say that this is only an example.

I think it will be better to explain, that if: 
The message from AVR Studio is:
"An AVRISP with firmware version 32.31 has been detected.
The firmware version corresponding to this installation of AVR Studio is 2.0A ..."

So  modify the registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atmel\AVRTools\STK500\VersionMajor=32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Atmel\AVRTools\STK500\VersionMinor=31

to suppress the message.

But it is a hack, it stays problematic if you use several different programmer,
 i.e. a real STK500 ;-)
It would be better, if ATMEL provides a switch:
"Don't ask me again"
