esp-idf-tools-setup-2.2.exe Installation has failed with exit code 1

[edboston]

I have been trying to get the IDF setup for several days and have not been able to get the setup tool to run without error. I have searched for and tried all the suggestions that I can find with no luck. I keep getting this error and don't know what to do to fix it.

It looks like you may be trying to use the new tools installer with IDF v3.2?

For v3.2, the getting started guide for Windows is here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... setup.html. It involves using an MSYS based environment.

Do you need to use specifically IDF v3.2 (e.g. because of some dependency, such as ESP-MDF)?
If yes, then you have to follow the guide linked above, for IDF v3.2.

If no, then please try again with a newer version of IDF, such as release/v4.0 branch. You can learn more about the IDF versions here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... sions.html

Still getting it with with v4.0. I was trying to install the 3.2 because of a build issue I had that other reported as corrected with the v3.2 IDF.

and it also fails on the release/v4.0 IDF so I don't think this has anything to do with the IDF version.

[edboston]

Was able to get around this problem by switching to Python 2.7. Guess it isn't working with the version of Python I had (3.7.5)

[ESP_igrr]

Was the Python 3.7 installed using python.org installer, or as a Windows Store app? We have tested the installer with python.org distributions, but I think we haven't checked how it behaves with the Windows Store app, yet.

[edboston]

I don't remember how it was installed. There is no entry for it in the Windows programs control panel.

hi,
I have faced with this problem right now,
I have tried every thing that i can.
installing, uninstalling pythons, 2.7, 3.7, 3.8
tried many times but no success.

In addition, espressif has messed up everything. here are some confusions:

1. no eclipse support (I have seen somewhere) for v4.0, but there is an eclipse plugin which does not works for me. https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin
2. esp-mdf uses old esp-idf. currently trying to install this.
3.there was not literally install guide for anything (except for esp-idf v3.3 it was really good)
4. I have installed ESP8266-RTOS-SDK on windows by my efforts (your install guide was not work)

in every guides there are abeyances, in all, they have some problems.

I think you should review your tools, documents and others.

I had the same issue on Win7 .
Exactly this python2.x and 3.x
I also noticed that python3.4+(64bit) is not installing correctly on Win7

When I switched to Win10 , All works out of the box with no Issues .
And python 3.7 (64bit) is installing fine .

I think IDF is only supporting python3.7 (64bit)
Check if that is the issue cause the log you put shows the errors related to python .

[lalleglad]

I am getting the same kind of trouble, and I don't see a solution in this thread, but please correct me if I am wrong?

Best regards,
Peter
