CCS/MSP430FR5994: Cannot install MSP430Ware with CCS V 9.3

Tom,

That is an odd one.  You mentioned that the installation of CCS was done with admin privs.  Are you running with Admin as well?  I am wondering if CCS is being blocked from creating that temporary folder at runtime.  I am following up with the Resource Explorer team.

Tom,

Lets try changing where MSP430Ware is going to be installed.  In the install dialog that pops up there is a selection at the bottom where you can specify where the package will be installed.  This is for a different package as I already have MSP430Ware installed.

Change the install location to be in your user folder.  There should be an item in th list that is <user folder>/ti.  If that is not there then you can add that loation in the CCS preferences dialog in the location noted in the dialog.  By doing the temporary directory will also be created in this location.  If the problem is permission related this should solve it.

Regards,

John

I tried your suggestion without success - same issue.

I have performed so many install attempts without success.

I even un-installed all the CCS and other related TI software and retried using ver10 (released last week) with same error appearing.

CCS loads up and works fine.

I imported the Energia Core without issue using the resource explorer Package Manager.

But when I attempt to install the MSP430Ware, it goes through the download phase OK, install to a directory as specified, but fails during the extraction phase.

same error occurs each time.....

 :(

Tom,

In that last dialog it is showing as using the C:\ti\ccs1000 folder as the base location for the temporary files.  Did you change the setting I showed to install in your user folder?

Would you be able to attach any logs found in C:\Users\<username>\ti\tirex-localserver-3.7.1\.logs

To get you up and running for now you can try to download MSP430Ware from here:

http://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSP430Ware/latest/index_FDS.html

We can then see if Resource Explorer will detect it and work with it.  If not you can import any of the example projects by going to Project -> Import CCS Projects

Regards,

John

Hi John, thanks for your response.

I did attempt installation at the c:\ti folder and at my user level folder....  

We have gone into further Covid 19 preventative measures and I am now working from home.

I won't be able to access the log files for a little while on my work PC.

My home PC has an earlier version CCS v7.2.0  which works OK.

I'll create a new project in CCS V7.2.0 and import my source code and see how it goes...

thanks for your support.

keep safe during this virus crisis.  :)

Tom,

It really seems like a permission issue.  Once things get back to normal (might be a while) we can take a look at those logs and maybe do a webex conf.  My guess is that you will not have any issues on your home PC if you install CCSv9.3 or 10 as your home PC is unlikely to have many restrictions.

Take care.

John
