We are developing a product that uses ESP-IDF v5.2. We recently got a new development member and had her install ESP-IDF v5.2, but she can't seem to get v5.2 installed, only v5.2.2. So we cannot get her to join our team.

Here are the installation instructions I gave her:

Download the Universal Online Installer from the following page while connected to the Internet
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/

Under "Download or use ESP-IDF", select "Download ESP-IDF".

Under "Version of ESP-IDF", select "release/v5.2".

However, it will inevitably install 5.2.2 instead of 5.2.
How do we install v5.2 (v5.2.0)?

If you use the Universal Online Installer 2.27, the big green box at the top of https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/ and follow the prompts, you will eventually get to a page in the installation that looks like this. which will allow you to select 5.2. I have also had the online installer freeze during install, so if it does try it again, it took me 4 tries to finally get it to complete.

If you need to know more specifics regarding "follow the promts" let me know.

Thank you for your comments. I have instructed her to follow the steps exactly, and she has redone it many times, but somehow the installation still results in 5.2.2. It is really strange.

The 5.2 release branch tracks whatever the latest version 5.2 is, which currently is indeed 5.2.2. The easiest way (that I know of, not being a Windows user) to get the 'original' v5.2 is to grab release/v5.2, let it install, then open a commandline prompt, go to the esp-idf directory and do 'git checkout v5.2' followed by 'git submodule update --init --recursive''

Ah, I see. I will tell her to reset to the same commit the team is using or try the 5.2 zip that is being released. Thanks very much!
