ESP-IDF Installation problem while creating Python virtual env

[begi78]

Hello,

I encounter a problem during installation of the esp-idf (V5.1.1) with esp-idf-tools-setup-offline-5.1.1.exe

I tried several combination, starting the installation after installing last python package or removing the antivirus witout success.

The log file part is the following:

023-10-09 17:10:49.621 --------
2023-10-09 17:10:49.625 ESP-IDF Python Virtual environment does not exist, creating the environment: C:\Users\begi\Espressif\tools\idf-python\3.11.2\python.exe -m venv "C:\Users\begi\Espressif\python_env\idf5.1_py3.11_env"

Hello Bert,
Can you please provide the content from the second screen ("Pre-installation system check") of installer?

Also try to run following command:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\begi\Espressif\python_env\idf5.1_py3.11_env\Scripts\python.exe -m  ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

and send back the output.


Thanks,
Jakub

It looks like one of the antivirus programs are blocking the installation. I don't know which one because you seem to have three different ones in addition to Windows defender.

You can try to disable them one-by-one to see if that helps. After you've identified the one which is blocking then you can manually add exception to paths it has issues with.

You are completely right. The Reason Labs antivirus has been installed without my consent and was interacting with the installation program.

After uninstalled it, the installation went well.

Thanks a lot for your help.
