Code Composer v5.4 New Install Silently Fails

Hi There,

I've just tried to install the latest code-composer version (ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091), never having used the tool before.  When running the setup-file, it just crashes, with no dialog or pop-up indicating what the problem is.  I've found the following error text in the Windows event log:

Faulting application name: ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe, version: 5.4.0.91, time stamp: 0x4fe2322a
Faulting module name: ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe, version: 5.4.0.91, time stamp: 0x4fe2322a
Exception code: 0xc00000fd
Fault offset: 0x000223e7
Faulting process id: 0x1738
Faulting application start time: 0x01ce71238d75729d
Faulting application path: C:\Users\Dave\Downloads\ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Users\Dave\Downloads\ccs_setup_5.4.0.00091.exe
Report Id: cc902172-dd16-11e2-be74-bcaec5021af2

Machine details are:

ASUS EB1501P Nettop.
Intel Atom D525 CPU @1.8GHz
2GB RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
NVidia ION Graphics - driver version 3.20.18

I do wonder if it's related to the NVidia issue mentioned here.  However, I don't have an Optimus chipset - and the NVidia control panel doesn't have the "Preferred Graphics Processor" option mentioned in that solution.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Dave

  • Hi Dave,

    would you please send the installation logs?  These are in the installjammer registry directory and this folder is possibly a hidden folder and is found in program files or program files(x86).

    It might also be good to double check antivirus and permissions interference.

    Best Regards,
    Lisa 

  • Hi Dave,

    It does look like you're failing due to another variation of the NVidia bug. To confirm, could you zip up and attach the install logs here? They should be in c:\program files (x86)\installjammer registry\ccsv5. Installjammer registry is a hidden folder. 

    We may be able to send you an executable that will circumvent the issue altogether.

  • Hi Danish, Lisa,

    Thanks for your prompt support!

    I have now tried installing with my antivirus disabled (MS Security Essentials) - the behaviour is the same.

    For the install logs, I'm afraid I don't seem to have an "installjammer" directory in either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)".  I'm definitely showing hidden files, and to be sure, I typed the path into the address bar - no "installjammer".

    Any other suggestions?

    Cheers
    Dave 

  • Hi Dave,

    It's "installjammer registry" - the full path should be "c:\program files (x86)\installjammer registry\ccsv5". If you've tried that, I'm at a loss! We'd have to do a webex to be able to determine what's causing the problem on your end.

  • Hi Danish,

    I'm happy to do a webex to resolve this.  Unfortunately I'm not available until around 18:00 GMT on Friday, I'm not sure what time-zone you are in, so let me know when suits you.

    Thanks again for your help

    Dave

  • Hi Dave,

    I'm in Toronto, Canada (EST) and some time around 20:00 GMT on Friday would work for me. Please email me directly at d-innis@ti.com so we can set things up.

    Thanks

  • Hi Danish,

    Thanks for your time this evening.  I can confirm that the problem was indeed that my user-profile was stored on an NTFS Junction point on my filesystem.  Following your suggestion, I created a new user profile on the local (non-junctioned) area and ran the installer from there.  I now have Code Composer up and running :-)

    I see now that junctions are mentioned in the troubleshooting guide (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCSv5), but under the "Installer hangs during installation" title - it might be worth changing that to "Installer hangs or crashes during installation".

    Have a good weekend!

    Cheers
    Dave 

  • Hi Dave,

    Glad you're up and running! I'll get the documentation updated.
