Problem when using CCSLink with MatlabSimulink for CodeComposer Studio 3.3 with Windows Vista

Christian Mueller90830

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

 

I am trying to use Matlab Simulink mit CCSLINK for a Texas Instruments DSP using Code Composer Studio 3.3.

Since Code Composer Studio needs Administrator Rights (for Windows Vista), I am logged in as an administrator.

When starting Code Composer Studio “standalone”, I explicitly call it “as administrator” and it works fine.

 

When trying to connect to Code Composer Studio via Matlab Simulink with CCSLink by typing

cc = ticcs

I  receive the error message:

“Error reading Code Composer Setup information. Code Composer may not have been correctly installed”.

 

The same error occurs if I am trying to start CCS “standalone” (even when logged in as administrator) without explicitly doing it “as administrator”.

 

I assume, that Matlab/CCSLink will not explicitly be trying to start CCS  “as administrator”.

Is there a workaround for this issue? I assume anyone who is using CCS 3.3 with Matlab Simulink CCSLink on a Windows Vista machine may come around the same problem.

Thank for you comments/ideas/support.

    Hello,

    I recall seeing a similar issue where someone had issues starting CCS from Matlab but starting CCS directly was fine. It was on a Windows 7-64 machine and the issue was resolved by setting the properties of cc_app.exe (via desktop shortcut) so that it ran as Administrator and in Windows XP compatibility mode. I have not used vista much so I'm not sure if those options are available on Vista but if they are, you can give that a try.

    Thanks

    Tanks for your support – proceeding this way solves the described problem.

    For Windows Vista, the equivalent proceeding is as follows:

    cc_app.exe -> right click -> properties -> compatibility

    -> mark  to execute program in compatibility mode (eg. with Windows XP ServicePack  2)

    -> mark to execute program as administrator

    Note that admin rights are necessary.

    Note that reboot may be necessary hereafter.
