Error installing tizen studio on windows 10

Henry picture Henry · Nov 13, 2017 · Viewed 16k times · Source

No matter which of the three tizen studio 2.0 installers I try they all don't work as they won't accept any path. The CLI installer gives the most detailed description:

** The directory you specify is not allowed to install the Tizen Studio. Some tools of the Tizen Studio will not properly work in the directory with administrator privilege or read-only access rights for your account.=> path

I have tried starting the installer with admin rights and owning the destination folders. Additionally, I switched from JDK 9 to 8.

Still, there seems no way to get the installer running. Any ideas what the reason could be? Thanks!

I managed to install tizen studio and the SDK using the %appdata% path. If anyone else has the problem, try e.g.

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Samsung\tizen-studio

This is definitely a flaw Samsung should take care of!
