CCS_ERROR: Unable to install executable. C:/users........

  • Hi John,

    Can you check the c:\ti\ccs1100\ccs\install_logs\20250331115743\ folder and see if there are any logs there? if so, can you attach them for us to analyze?

    Thanks,

    Ricky

  • I tried to install ccs_install 11.0.0.00012 and ccs_install_12.8.1.00005, but I got the same error. I attached the installation files for both versions. 

  • Hi John,

    Thanks for providing the logs. 

    Both installs are failing for the same reason. The CCS install runs a number of other component installers while the install proceeds. One of these component installers is responsible for installing the Windows kernel drivers for the various debug probes. As these installers run, they extract files to the local file system. Once all the files have been extracted the installer would run the appropriate driver install commands.

    For some reason, when this component installer runs on your PC, a critical file cannot be extracted. When the extract fails, the whole install fails as you observed.  The specific file is "WdfCoInstaller01009.dll". This is a Microsoft provided file and is part of the Windows driver install framework.

    Some reasons a file might fail to be extracted would include: the installer is corrupted (unlikely as you have two different cases with the same problem), the file already exists on the file system and is in use (also seems unlikely in your case), or security related software running on the PC is blocking this file (this would be my best guess), or ... something else I'm not thinking of.

    Do you know what anti-malware software your PC is running? Is there an option to temporarily disable that while the installer runs, or maybe there is an option to add any affected files to a "permitted list"?

    I've attached the specific component installer that is failing so we can run it on its own for testing purposes.  Could you run this and specify a temporary install location (like c:/temp/drivers) to see if you get the same issue?  I'm assuming this will also fail.  If it does fail, it would point to the anti-malware software running on your PC as a cause.
