Hi,
With heavy sigh I agreed to try an get the ESP toolchain on another machine.
I understand the ESP Toolchain Wiki has been updated and so I went step by step on the new desktop. Everything was as per the Wiki showed.

When setting the FC Global settings > Locations > ESP
what file/directory should this be looking for? There is no C:esp-idf as shown in the Wiki.

During set up the directory C:\esp-idf-tools was specified, this has been popoluated with all the usual files but in zipped format.
It like there is a step missing where the esp-idf unpacks and installs in the C:\ direcory?
What is the usual method of initiating this?

It looks like the ESP toolchain is still a tricky little git, ha!
Thanks guys. J.

Hello.
It looks like you missed a step.
The 5th image down in the Wiki Compiler toolchain ESP32

That is also the same path entered in Global Settings > Locations Tab

Edit: For anyone reading this, we now recommend to instal idf 5.1 as idf 4.3 causes compiling issues.

Thanks Martin.
Sorry that was my cockup.
uninstalled, rebooted machine and followed the guide again. All worked as you showed in the install guide.
I have a flash program running on an ESP32.
Many thanks.
regards, John.
