Unable to install nRF Connect SDK to a non-default location on Windows 11

Hello,

I am trying to install the nRF Connect SDK v3.0.1 on Windows 11 (version 24H2 build 26100.4061). In the VSCode -> nRF Connect(the plugin) -> Manage SDKs

I can successfully install the SDK using the default location (c: ncsv3.0.1). However, if I try to install it on d: ncsv3.0.1 or e: ncsv3.0.1, the installation will fail with error code -4058.

[22:57:56] nrfutil-sdk-manager sdk,install,v3.0.1,--sdk-path,d:\ncs\v3.0.1: Calculating SDK checksum
[22:58:02] nrfutil-sdk-manager sdk,install,v3.0.1,--sdk-path,d:\ncs\v3.0.1: Verified previously download file: success

Any suggestions to fix the error? I have limited space in the C drive, and would appreciate installing the SDK on another drive. Cheers

  • I've tried all that, at least all files at all locations I know of. I've also scanned the registry for zombie entries to remove. I haven't (and can't) try on a virgin machine. 

    Are you suggesting that the tool using c:\ncs for install-dir is a "memory" from an earlier install? I think it is just the tool's default, which can't be overriden in the VSCode interface.
