idf installation - Installation has failed with exit code 1

Postby wesS2020 » Fri Feb 04, 2022 11:10 pm

I had a previous version of idf installed and working with eclipse plugin for a long time. Yesterday, I have decided to install the latest version of idf v4.4.
I am using esp-idf-tools-setup-online-2.13.exe to install it.
I have tried to install it in different folders but always get "Installation has failed with exit code 1".
Below is part of the installation log file:
Extracting C:\Espressif\dist\cmake-3.20.3-windows-x86_64.zip to C:\Espressif\tools\cmake\3.20.3

2022-02-05 09:34:47.918 Message box (OK):
Installation has failed with exit code 1
I have tried many time and nothing changed.
Now I am left without idf and can't work on my project.

I would appreciate any help.

Finally I fixed this issue.
To do that I had to disable McAfee antivirus protection. Then installation completed OK.

The problem is caused by the antivirus blocking rename operation of the directory with cmake after extraction from ZIP archive.

Options:
- disable antivirus scanning for the time-being
- use one of Offline installers which extracts CMake directly to desired location - https://github.com/espressif/idf-instal ... -installer
- rename cmake.tmp directory to cmake and retry the installation process
