Could you post the IDF Tools install console output? Would like to check what is the python version which is installed

Hi Kyrpav,

It seems like a conflict between your system's native encoding and UTF-8.

In your project's Environment Variable settings, could try adding name "PYTHONIOENCODING" value "utf-8" and re-run? This will confirm if the problem is due to encoding mismatch.

Moderator's note: split to a new topic, as different error to previous discussion.

I have reinstalled esp tools using the release/4.0 which was the third selection and python 3.8-32 instead of v4. 0(release) which was the first selection and python. 8-64bit and it worked properly

Hi kyrpav,

Glad to hear it's working now. Please let us know if you run into the problem again.
