However, i am not able to install manage SDKs.

Hello,

I just verified that toolchains v1.9.0 installed properly on my end using only the vscode nrf extension.  Based off your logs it appears everything was downloaded but failed the validation step.  I would recommend deleting the folder v1.9.0 and attempting to download again.  I have had issues in the past downloading from the nRF Connect extension, although typically my issue is with the SDK not the toolchain.  The causes for me have usually been IT privilege's on my company computer, company firewall, or internet speed.  Hope this helps!

I tried it more then once, but it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Have you tried running vscode in administrator mode before beginning the install?

After trying i receive the same feedback

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.
