Hope this helps,

The solution given does not help. The application simply recreates the file as ccs_update_10.0.0.00010.run, and fails to start again.

I've tried renaming the file in the utils directory as well, and noticed that there is a file in downloads named startupInstaller_6.0.0.[date string].log

The latest logs in startupInstaller logfile are:

I have also attempted to run the update binary as both extensions before and after running sudo ccstudio a 2nd time, each time after fresh installations, and each time I get the same error:

There has been an error.
Your installation seems to be corrupted. Please delete the folder /home/[username]/.cache/yay/ccstudio/src/installdir/opt/ccstudio and install again.


By fresh installations, I mean after uninstalling, deleting the /opt/ccstudio/ccs/ directory, and the /home/[username]/.cache/yay/ccstudio/src/installdir/opt/ccstudio directory.

Could you please zip up the install_logs folder in the install dir's ccs directory. Thanks.

The ccs install dir is 4.4GB

Do I really need to upload all of that?

 no, just the "install_logs" folder under <CCS INSTALL DIR>/ccs

Ah, for some reaosn I read that previous message as asking me to zip up the install_logs dir AND the install dir...


I have two install_logs directories really: one in the actual install directory, and one in the cache directory of the package management progam I'm installing CCS with, and another which is the actual installation directory. The cache directory seems to also consistently update logs whenever I attempt to install packages in CCS, and the one in the install directory doesn't.

I've attached a zip of the log dir in the installation folder, and copied printout from a log in the package manager cache directory.

1667.install_logs.zip
Below is a printout of what is showing in a select log in the cache dir after a fresh install, then after attempting to install the various CCS package updates. A new log file is created for each failure, but it always says the same thing (which I had also pasted above)

I should also mention that I have been able to get past the update step on one instrument by changing the install dir permissions to 777, running ccstudio as a regular user, choosing *not* to restart immediately, quitting the application, recursively setting all permissions in the install dir to 777 again, then starting again as a regular user. However, I have not been able to replicate this on any other instrument.

I really need to install older compiler tools for a project we have at work that is still using DSPLink, but am hesitant to perform any other updates for fear of breaking everything.

Right now, we are only able to compile because we have the older tools still on a drive, and we have written a script to manually compile and link everything.

Can you provide your <installdir>/ccs/eclipse/ccs.properties file?

Also,  check if there’s an install_logs folder in /home/mogart/.cache/yay/ccstudio/src/installdir/opt/ccstudio or /home/mogart/.cache/yay/ccstudio/src/installdir/opt/ccstudio/ccs?
