Update of SDK using Visual Studio Code didn't go well.

[AMarch01]

I opened up the nRF Connect for Desktop application and noticed a new version for the SDK , 3.0.0. I also noticed that the application is being deprecated.

Inside of Visual Studio Code, I attempted to install the new SDK. It indicated that it was running then ended. I couldn't find another folder of the form v3.0.0 where I normally store them... and I couldn't figure out where tools were downloaded to.

Part of the issue was that, for IT purposes, my work is in the C:\Users\<username>\ folder. So they should have been in C:\Users\<username>\ncs\v3.0.0.

However, it decided for reasons I am not sure about, to unpack tools in the C:\ncs folder. I have no idea where (or if) it put the ncs\v3.0.0 folder? 

Any ideas how this happened... how to fix?

Hi,

You can configure where the SDK is installed in the extension settings. Go to settings in VS Code > Extensions > nRF Connect or search for "toolchain manager" inside the settings to find it:

yeah, ok... I can repoint the system to the original place...and just for the heck of it...moved the files from the C:\ncs location to the user space location. Build works and it appears that it is pulling the tool chain from the new location. 
Thats good.

I suppose I am curious, why did it default back to C:\ncs...  Maybe I should just assume I clicked on something too quickly and just accidently it chose the old directory.

Thanks for your time Marte, Good to see your avatar is still working the help desk.
