Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

  Software being installed: CC13xx/CC26xx Device Support 2.0.1.00 (com.ti.ccstudio.cc26xx.devicesupport.win32.feature.group 2.0.1.00)

  Missing requirement: CC13xx/CC26xx Device Support 2.0.1.00 (com.ti.ccstudio.cc26xx.devicesupport.win32.feature.group 2.0.1.00) requires 'com.ti.ccstudio.installer.win32.feature.group 6.2.0.00048' but it could not be found

  • Hi,
    The CC13xx/CC26xx Device Support 2.0.1.00 update only applies to CCS 6.2.0 build 48. What version of CCS are you running? Can you check the version from Help->About -> Code Composer details?

  • Danish:

    Code Composer Studio

    Version: 6.1.3.00034

    Does CCS not update to the newest version when you click on the "Check for Updates" tab under 'Help"?

  • There is no update available to CCS 6.2.0, there were too many changes, which would break the update. You can download it and install in another folder (if you like), or uninstall 6.1.3. 

  • If  I install CCS 6.2.0 in a separate directory will it be able to find all of its component parts, libraries, files, and examples or will it be cleaner to just uninstall CCS 6.1.3 first and then do the default installation? 

    If you wanted to keep all of the past versions of CCS available, what directory structure do you recommend (i.e. C: ti\ccsv6\version_number)? 

    Will the "Check for Updates" work correctly if I don't install CCS in the default directory?

    To prevent the software you are developing from being lost when CCS 6.1.3 is uninstalled, should the software be kept in a directory other than the CCS default one? 

    Why will CCS 6.2.0 not install over CCS 6.1.3?

    How would I know that CCS has done a major update unless I go to the website and hunt down the current version?  Does TI not send out some type of email notification such as CCS Major Update 6.1.3 ==> 6.2.0 -- Reinstall CCS

    CCS, by default, looks inside C:\ti (on Windows) for most installed packages. SO if you installed things like the BLE SDK, TI-RTOS and such in the default C:\ti directories, it would picked those up.

    I personally do C:\ti\<version number>

    In the screenshot below, I have 3 installations of CCS co-existing. All use the format I mentioned above:

    Absolutely

    What do you mean by "software"? Your projects? Your projects should be kept outside the CCS installation directory. They default to your workspace folder location.

    Murdock Taylor said:

    The short answer is that it can cause potential incompatibility issues among various components, especially any generated files inside the directory that will not get overwritten

    Unfortunately, no. We are looking into various methods to notify users but nothing has been implemented yrt.

    Thanks
