ESP-IDF Tools unable to install

[linearo]

Hi everyone,

if i try to install the ESP-IDF Tools, I get the error: "Failed to copy ESP-IDF to the destination directory: (Path)"
I am using Windows 10 on a 64 bit system.
I tried everything I can imagine e.g. changing Folder and partition or running with admin rights. Even on another Computer the same error occurred.
Internet research doesn't bring me a solution.

Thank you in advance!

I was successful now.
I didn't change anything, but it worked in the 30th try....
Only thing that changed was, that I was in another WiFi. Don't know if that was the reason.

I have the same problem, I ran the install as administrator and I even tried manually creating the target directory.

Here is the log.

I am having exactly the same problem. I do not have any spaces or dashes in my user name or any directory I entered during the installation, but I see dashes in things like ESP-IDF I have no control over. Doe anyone have a solution?

Error I get in the log is:

Failed to copy ESP-IDF to the destination directory

Hi jacquesRoth,

Is your destination directory on a different drive? If yesz could you please try this version? https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/is ... -584772989
