Failed CCS5 Installation on Windows 8

Hi  Mike,

I hope its a offline setup and you've downloaded the complete installation. There is a possibility that the setup might be corrupted. Try downloading the setup file again and install. Do keep us informed.

The install seems to be failing in a different place each time. I suspect there are issues with downloading parts of the install and a problem appears at different points depending on how far the download got. It might be best to download the large zip file and use that for the install.

Tried that a few times already.  I haven't given up hope yet...

Mike

Thanks.  I am downloading the file now and will try it when it finishes.

I downloaded the offline installer, uninstalled the previous non-working version, deleted the folders containing previous files, unzipped the offline installer, and then ran the ccs_setup_5.5.0.00077.exe file as administrator.  

The installation failed again (attempt #6) after about 35% on the progress bar.  Got the message:

Installer failed to install com.ti.ccstudio.msp430.emu.win32 correctly.  The 2 most common reasons for  failure are:

1.  Anti-virus on your computer could have impeded the executable.

2.  Download is corrupted.

Then the messages references the attached log file for more information.

Hi Michael,

could you please also attach the file C:/ti/CCS5/ccsv5/install_logs/ti_msp430pack_setup_5.5.0.17_install.log?

Thanks,

Bob

Here it is:

Michael,

are you running a 64bit Windows 8 or a 32bit version?

Bob,

Thanks...I'll try that next.  

On the Windows 8 vs. 32-bit question, I did not see an option to select one vs. the other.  Is that an issue that should be addressed before installing without the MSP430 USB FET drivers?

Mike

Mike,

the 32/64-bit question is not user-selectable. The installer contains the logic for selecting the platform, which seems to be the issue. Installing the MSP430 Drivers with the alternative installer package should solve the issue.

Regards,

Bob

Bob,

That worked - thanks!

I downloaded and ran the Drivers Package too, but am having trouble getting CCS to recognize the MSP430.  The target configuration does not have an MSP430 option.  Any suggestions?

Thanks again

Mike

No problem, Mike. Glad I could help.
