CCS/MSP430F5529: Update of CCS v8 Fails: Installation of the following components failed:

Part Number: MSP430F5529
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG, ENERGYTRACE, CCSTUDIO

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

After update failure, submission of installation logs generated Reference #: 127008

An error occured : Installation of the following components failed:
com.ti.msp430.ccs_header_files
com.ti.msp430.gcc_header_files
com.ti.msp430.support_files
com.ti.gcc.msp430.win32

I need assistance determining the correct recovery steps.

I was able to launch CCS v8 after the failure but hesitant to continue with my project until the update is backed out or corrected.

Thanks,
Craig

  • Hello Craig,

    do we talk about CCS8.0 or 8.1 ver?
    What were your initial conditions?
    Do we talk about update or upgrade like 8.0 to 8.1?
  • Hello Tomasz,

    Thank you for your question.

    I launched CCSv8 and then responded to a pop-up notification of available updates. 
    The update was from 8.0.0.00016 to 8.1.0.00011.

    The Help > About "Installation Details" shows the current version is:
    (9/14/2018)  8.1.0.00011 Updated to Code Composer Studio 8.1.0.00011.

    (4/15/2018) 8.0.0.00016

    The PC is on Windows 7 and yesterday, I attempted to do a System Restore to a point before the upgrade. After that, CCS would not launch at all. Unfortunately, I did not save the error. Then I reverted that Sytem Restore and CCS is now 8.1.0.00011.

    In CCS's Installation History I do see there is a Revert function. I am considering reverting to the update listed for (5/13/2018) and then attempt the update again.
    If it fails again, I may investigate how to do an offline update.

  • Hello Craig,

    we talk about an upgrade.
    Very often upgrades are terrible.

    Good news is that you can have many CCS versions simultaneously installed on your PC.
    I recommend that you uninstall CCS (CCSsys) you currently have.
    Then delete CCS installations folders and TI's folders/files under %App%Data folder.

    Install CCS8.1. Being asked for a destination folder go to a scrolling list and select c:\ti\ccs810.
    Later on you would be able to install CCS8.0, selecting c:\ti\ccs800, to install CCS8.0 and both installs would not disrupt each other.

    To avoid troubles, always keep separate workspaces for the different CCS versions.
  • Hi Tomasz,

    I have begun your uninstall suggestion today and attempt to just install 8.0.

    I am at a customer's site which blocks http sites and unfortunately there seems to be not https alternative for:
    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Download_CCS

    I still may first try to revert and then delete.

    Thank you for your reply and I will update.

    Craig

  • Hi,

    I do recommend to install 8.1.
  • Craig,

    As suggested by Tom, install CCS 8.1 to a separate directory rather than trying to update 8.0 to 8.1. If you wish to keep both versions and use them side-by-side, simply install them to different directories.

    If you plan to remove an older versions and reinstall to the same directory, make sure to delete the previous installation directory completely first so there are no leftover files.
  • Hi Tomasz,

    After the uninstall process, I installed 8.1, imported a project from an existing Workspace, and then built and tested the project with no problems.

    I do not have plans to install 8.0.

    Thank you for all your help.

    Craig
