CCS version 7 is not adhering to Windows standards

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3200

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I cannot install CCS to a Windows standards compatible folder:

Moreover, CCS is complaining about some mysterious existence of anti-virus software - which isn't installed. Only the default Windows 10 Defender tool is running:

It's not acceptable that CCS is polluting professionally setup Windows installations, adhering to Microsoft standards, with defined security, backup and restore schedules in place.

CCS should not force administrators to weaken their security plans only because CCS programmers are not willing to adhere to Microsoft standards.

Please ensure that CCS adheres to Microsoft standards.


  • Hi,

    This questions are not related to CC3200/CC3100. Please move your questions to CCS forum ( e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81 ). Because Code composer studio version 7 is pretty new, my recommendation is use previous version 6.2. I suppose there can be less bugs.


    Few comments:

    - If you are not satisfied with CCS (free IDE from TI), nothing prevent you buy and use another IDE. IAR Embedded Workbench is fully supported by CC3200 SDK ( www.iar.com/iar-embedded-workbench )

    - Windows Defender is presented by Microsoft as anti-virus software - "Microsoft antivirus protection, Windows Defender is the No. 1 antivirus on Windows 10, protecting more computers against viruses, malware, spyware, and other threats than any other solution. source: microsoft.com". From this reasons I think that is correct that installation software says - antivirus software is running.

  • Thank you for pointing me to the right direction! I'll post my questions there.

    Just to comment your comments (no offence intended): No matter if it's for free or purchasable - even the smallest Open Source tool I know adheres to Microsoft coding standards. This is not an option. It's like everyone is driving his/her car on the right track (except for Commonwealth states). Moreover, it's not acceptable to be required to switch off a tool that's just blocking files from a black list. If the CCS programmers haven't been able to deal with Windows Defender, they should be replaced or get back learning software development essentials.
