ESP32 TOOLCHAIN Installation has failed with exit code -2

[dvcam99]

Hello Flow Code Team,

I´m in the phase in order to evaluate the new FC9 Main interest is at the moment the new ESP32 part.

Plan would be to purchase a professional version FC9 because I could upgrade from FC professional.

I´ll tried to install the ESP32 TOOLCHAIN, but it ended up always with the following error message:

Installation has failed with exit code -2

I tried a installation at a WIN8 and a WIN10 PC. Same result, same error code.

May sombody can help.

Attached is the installation log file.

BR and THX in advance

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Do you already have Python or Git installed on your system?

Googling the problem I found a couple of pages but not sure if they will be helpful.

We have had a report that if running the ESP IDF tools we are hosting is failing then downloading the latest from the Espressif website works ok.

Hello Ben,

no I had not installed Git and Pyton at my system.

I´ll try the Espressif version.

Short workflow how I did it.

1. Downloaded the Version 4.2 from the follwing link:

https://www.espressif.com/en/support/do ... %5B%5D=624

2. Unizip in a working folder an copied the extract in a empty folder i.e. C:\esp-idf

3. Run you installer 2.3 and assigined/use C:\esp-idf as a existing directory

4. Follow all other steps like you have defined in you ESP-IDF installation procedure (PDF document)
