[Raz_k]

Hello,
I installed the the toolchains 1.9.0(working on existing project) successfully.
However, i am not able to install manage SDKs.

This is my output:

I think you are using some wrong west version. it might be possible that west already there on your system is conflicting with this in someway.

Uninstall any sdk folders you have and check if you can install the sdk again using nrf connect for desktop -> toolchain manager, maybe any anamalies on your system can then be cleaned and overwritten.

Using the nrf connect for desktop it works good.
But i was trying to use the nrf extension.

[Susheel Nuguru]

after deleting the SDK, reinstalling the SDK from nrf connect for desktop and reopening the project in vsc, and selecting the right sdk and toolchain should work.

You do not need to re-install from vsc if you have already successfully installed using the toolchain manager.

Can you show me the snapshot of your whole VSC IDE when you compiled your project? Just want to double check if things are set up right there.
