CCS v5.5 update from v5.1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

I used the Help>CheckForUpdates method on a Windows7Pro machine. It crashed hard during Eclipse installation and now CCS is dead. While the installer was throwing errors, it said to check certain log files from "c:\ti\ccsv5\eclipse\configuration\". I have attached the first of those log files.

If I try to start up CCS it says "Ccstudio executable launcher was unable to locate its companion launcher jar". Does anyone know what are my options, now? Uninstall and start over?

 

Thanks,

Steve

    Hi,

    Quick relief: Download the latest CCS v5.5 offline setup file and overwrite the current CCS

    Slow and Stable relief: Uninstall the complete CCS or Install latest offline setup at a different directory say "c:\tinew"

    Regards,

    Whatever happened during the update has caused problems with the eclipse components. Unfortunately, your best bet is going to be to install a new copy of CCS. Could we also get the logs from the failed install to we can investigate what went wrong? If  you zip up the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallJammer Registry\ccsv5 and post it here perhaps we can determine what happened.

    Andy,

    I have it attached but gave a quick glance and it looks like the date on all of the files is old, as though nothing new was written during the brief period before the crash.

     

    Now, if I install a fresh copy of CCS, how can I preserve all of my previous preferences/setting. If I remember correctly, it took quite awhile for me to get everything setup the way I need/prefer. Are there files I should backup/restore?

    Steve,

    Like you noticed, the CCS part of the update wasn't even run. Whatever happened occurred during the Eclipse update phase. Given the error messages in the first log file, the Eclipse feature and plugin configuration data seems to be in a mess. I don't think I'm going to be able to figure out what happened.

    Configuration data is stored in two places. Your workspace(s) contain project specific data. Global Eclipse settings are stored in the Eclipse installation folder if it is writable.

    If you wish, you can install the new copy of CCS into a different folder (say, c:\ti2) and keep the original copy until you are satisfied everything is working. It is not easy import the global configuration settings. Fortunately, these are usually less important to your environment (IE, things like the Workspace LRU list).
