I did a web install of ccsv6.1.3 targeting 32 bit ARM MCUs.
This is on WIndows 7 PC (I'm slumming on Windows today)
I did disable Symantic Anti-virus but the installer still complains that it is on.
The install progressed until the MSVC runtime install and then failed on MSVC 2008 and MSVC 2015 after I let it retry several time on each.
It did drop two installers into the /ti/ccsv6/installers dir but failed to continue the install (It did not create a desktop icon or start menu link nor give me that dialog at all).
Trying the MSVC 2008 runtime installer it errored with a strange error. I some how figured out that I had windows updates pending so I rebooted to let these complete. After reboot and windows update completion the MSVC 2008 rt installed OK.
Running the MSVC 2015 runtime it said that I already had a version installed. I checked the list in the control panel and I had MSVC.2015.23918 which is newer than the MSVC.2015.23506 ccs6 was trying to install.
I wiped ccs6 and started the install again clean. It still failed the MSVC.2015 install and still failed to create any shortcuts.
I then went into the control panel and uninstalled the 32 bit version of MSVC.2015. When I reran ccs install it did the msvc.2015 install and offered the shortcut dialog and created the desktop shortcut ok.
My two (four) bits:
1) CCS installer should skip MSVC runtime install if a newer version of that years runtime is already installed.
I should not have to downgrade the library to get CCS to install
2) You should warn the user if there are windows updates pending. I don't know if there is any way to tell programmaticlly. Is it in the FAQ? This dumb user missed it.
3) The anti-virus detector is fooled by Symantic AV. If it can't be improved you should soften the warning messages. I lost about and hour trying to find other ways to disable AV. The icon was definitly showing off when CCS was warning me.
4) Is it intentional to skip the shortcuts in the install failure case?
