See this old devzone ticket: Visual Studio Code - unable to update SDK, or access previous SDKs .

Hello Abhijith
Thank you for clarifying.

Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. I just tested it again.

I reinstalled all the Nordic tools, reinstalled VSCode, and deleted the ncs folder.

For a change, I installed the same versions as in the video tutorial.

Unfortunately, the result is currently the same.

I do have an ncs folder that installs, but I can't tell if anything is missing:

Do you think try on another computer could help or do you know a better solution ?

Kind regards,
Ulysse

Hello,

While checking the generated support information, I don’t see any SDK listed there. It should appear like in the below screenshot. I recommend uninstalling everything and starting from scratch to see if that resolves the issue. To me, it looks like an installation problem.

Kind Regards,

Abhijith

Thank you for your help!

It is quite possible that the SDK has been installed. However, from what I can see, it cannot be used directly. In particular, when I click on Browse samples, I cannot select any SDK. But perhaps there is a simple way to get around this?

Please find the support information attached.

Kind regards,

Hello,

From the shared logs, it appears that the SDK has been installed. Could you check whether you were able to generate the support information from VS Code? This might provide more details about the issue. Within VS Code, navigate to tab Help-->Show all commands-->nRF connect: Generate support information.

Kind Regards,

Abhijith

I'm using Windows 10.

I have the same issue, but the difference is that the log shows 'west' exited and returned -4058. What can i do?
