Hi, I am having the exact same issue trying to run the ESP-IDF tools setup V2.4. (https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf-tools-setup-2.4.exe)

Did you find an answer to your problem? Thanks!

I had the same problem when installing the Toolchain on Windows 10 and was able to fix this by launching the installer with admin privilege.

It seems that the tools setup works only for version 4.0 and above of esp-idf, as it runs on cmd directly.

In the control panel, try to uninstall the esp-idf tools entry (if you have any previously). After did that and removing the whole both folders of esp-idf and tools (just in case), you should installed it smotly.

PS: I tried with the master (develop) version of esp-idf and it worked.

Running the installer using administrator rights solved the issue.
