Composer Studio won't start on win8.1, SetEnv.bat fails

Post by Phrewfuf »

Hi,

i just downloaded composer studio to my win8.1 PC and i have difficulties making it work.

First of all, the created shortcut doesn't do anything. I checked the path to it, found the .bat file, checked the contents and tried to work around it.

Obviously, SetEnv.bat is important as it sets the environment variables. Or it is supposed to do so. If i execute it, my cmd opens and closes immediately. Also i tried copypastaing the commands in SetEnv.bat manually into my cmd. No errors, but also no success.

When i launch the xtimecomposer.exe, eclipse starts up, but notifies me about not being able to find the libraries. Of course, because SetEnv.bat fails. If i click on OK, it just starts up, but i assume it is not really usable then.

Other than that there are no error messages. I even tried to run the .bats as administrator, no change.

Can anyone provide any help on that?

can you send the error you are seeing when you try opening the tool?

It says this:

Code: Select all

The xTIMEcomposer was unable to locate the XMOS toolchain binaries

Please ensure you have set up you environment correctly by running the SetEnv
script in the installation directory prior to starting the xTIMEcomposer.
And the next error is:

Code: Select all

The following require environment variables are not set:

- XCC_TARGET_PATH
- XCC_DEVICE_PATH
- XMOS_CACHE_PATH
- XMOS_REPO_PATH
- XMOS_DOC_PATH

Please ensure you have set up you environment correctly by running the SetEnv
script in the installation directory prior to starting the xTIMEcomposer.

This looks like SetEnv.bat file is not running. Can you try running the SetEnv script manually before opening the tool and see if this fixes your problem?

Did all the manual magic already. Even took the commands out of the SetEnv.bat and pasted them into CMD. No joy.

I just checked my PATH and it's all there.

All the paths are set.
Though some variables point to places that don't exist.

So, anyone else got any ideas?

I tried it out on my Ubuntu notebook and it fails there, too.
It just crashes there.

This means i have pretty much no working IDE for my startKIT :(
