CCS V4 Installation Error

I am running WIndows XP professional SP3, I have CCS Version 3.3 installed.  I am trying to also install CCS Version 4.0, the free microcontroller edition.  The installation is crashing after XDS560 installation step is completed.  In other installation attempts, I have turned off the XDS560 installation step, and turned off MSP430 installation.  It still crashes at the same installation point with an error.  The Application Error pop up window pops up, and the text inside the window is "Error: Error in Action ExecuteAction".  This error message is repeated three times in the pop-up window.  There is no normal recovery from this window, and task manager must be used to cancel the installation of the CCS4.   I have also deleted the CCS installation directory under program files, which did not help later installation attempts.  There is nothing referring to CCS4.0 in my add/ remove programs window, nor in the start->All Programs menu items .   Any suggestions?

  • It appears it can't find a zip file, even though there is a file called: jre_1.5.0_14.zip in the directory.

    The error log states:

  • Hi Marc,

    be shure to download TMDFCCS-MCULTD (for the 16KB free version). It is a .zip-file and you should try to store it i.e. on your desktop. After download is finished unzip to file to a location of your choice and the run setup_CCS_MC_Core_4.0.1.01001.exe within this folder.

  • I was following that procedure.  I did run that executable.  But I did encounter this error.  I believe there could be something wrong with the installation package.  Some environmental variable is not being set, or some file was not added to the installation for a first time install of this package.

  • Hi Marc,

    maybe you should start the download from this site (http://wiki.msp430.com/index.php/Download_CCS); I got my installation from there.

  • That is the site where I downloaded it from.  It asked for me to register and I did, and I was sent an e-mail to a link that is only active for 72-hours.  I clicked on the link, which downloaded the software a rate of 1 byte/second (several download attempts provided me the same download rate), but it eventually sped up a half hour later and downloaded in less than 4193 days and 4 hours as originally estimated.  Then I unzipped the files, and started the download.  Several installation attempts failed about half way through the install, at the same spot, with a message indicating that there was an error, and it couldn't find a file.    You can read the error log above.  I even have screen snapshot of the error.

  • I have never seen this before, but I extracted all the files out of the zip file and most copied out of the directory but those in the install_images/msvc subdirectory did not copy.  All other files were extracted.    I extracted the files again and this time all the files came out of the zip file.  The installation worked normally after this installation.
