Eclipse.exe

Noah,

Have you extracted the zip file before running the installer?  I have seen the behavior you describe when someone runs the installer from within the zip file as it will not run any of the child installer programs that install the bulk of CCS.

Regards,

John

The file that I have is an EXE (setup_CCS_MC_Core_4.1.1.00014.exe), not a ZIP file.  I have just tried installing this file on my work PC running WinXP SP2 and got the same result.

In the folder that has the EXE, is there a subfolder called 'install_images' with content inside it?

I took a screenshot and a directory listing.  Here are both:

That looks ok.

After a successful installation, eclipse.exe should be located in <INSTALL DIR>\ccsv4\eclipse. Does that file exist? Also check the properties of your desktop shortcut and see if the path to eclipse.exe in the shortcut matches up

I would also suggest installing somewhere other than Program Files as you are running Windows Vista and Vista likes to lock down that directory pretty severely if you do not have full admin rights and UAC completely disabled.

John

No, 'eclipse.exe' does not exist in that directory!  That would be a problem.

The install was not successful then. Could you try installing in a different directory (outside C:\Program Files) as John suggested?

I've downloaded the Eclipse SDK to see if that would help.  After installing the Eclipse SDK and opening CCS, CCS still cannot find 'eclipse.exe'.  I browse to the file 'eclipse.exe' and it opens the Eclipse SDK.  I was expecting CCS to open, but it never does.

Yes, I will try installing in a different directory.  I am going to leave the Eclipse SDK installed.

It is not possible to use the eclipse.exe from the Eclipse SDK with CCSv4.  CCSv4 includes a modified version of Eclipse.

John

John, from what I've seen installing the Eclipse SDK does not help like you are saying.

I just completed installing CCS into ...\My Documents\Texas Instruments as you suggested.  I got the same results.  Double-clicking the Code Composer Studio v4 icon only begins looking for 'eclipse.exe'.  

Should I get the install file from a different source?  Do either of you have any suspicions of this install file missing an install file?  On this last install, I made sure that every possible check was placed before all of the install options. 

I had the same problem however I've found solving for this issue. My OS is WindowsXP SP3, file system is NTFS. To resolve issue do follow steps:

1) create directory outside Program Files. For instance D:\CodeComposerStudio.

2) Go to Security tab in folder properties window and add "Everyone" user.

3) Assign Full Control for this user in this folder.

4) Run  setup_CCS_MC_Core_4.1.1.00014.exe and follow the installation instructions.

5) Browse "D:\CodeComposerStudio" when you get "Choose Installation Location" step and click "Next".

6) Be happy after installation run finish :)

I had same problem too and i solved just right clicking to setup file and choosing run as administrator.

Hi James Ellis,

I got the setup_CCS_4.2.3.00004.exe which was 8.74MB, whatever you are telling like extract or zip cant perform on the .exe as you know this.

when i double click on the setup file it was installed on C:\Program Files\Texas Instruments1\ccsv4 path.After installation , when launch the CCS it was asking

eclipse.exe but you are saying there should be install_images but actually it was not there.i received only setup_CCS_4.2.3.00004.exe in USB stick not install_images/zip.

Thanks

Mukund,

The CCS installation image is over a GB.  Make sure you are downloading the whole thing and then extract the zip before running the installer.  I am not sure where you got your USB stick but it sounds like it does not have the complete installation program but on the shell installer and none of the actual features.

You can download the proper installer here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

Also I would highly recommend not installing in Program Files if you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Regards,

John
