nRFgo-Starter-kit on W7 machine; Keil\ARM\Device\Nordic folder missing. Why?

[af]

A friend installed on two XP machines this software in this order..

1. Keil's mdk472.exe
2. Nordic's nrfgo_sdk_2.3.0_setup.exe
3. Nordic's nrfgostudio_installer_1_14_1.exe

he gets under c:\Keil\ARM\Device\ a Nordic folder containing

-Documentation -nrf51422 -nrf51822

I get nothing. Originally I installed Keil last and got nothing so I uninstalled everything and did the order stated here, which my friend found to work on XP.

I do get example code that gets dumped in a Nordic Semiconductor directory on my C: drive but it comes with no documentation and no way to know what to compile or include so that's all of no use.

a) What is wrong with my Window's 7 installation? b) Is W7 supported?

Thanks, Andre

I was handed three boxes and have four boards lashed together: the ones from Nordic came in a little box and a big box. Since the big box said "starter" on it I downloaded all its associated software, followed its documentation and I went astray right from the start. I currently follow only the path of nRF51855 and miraculously I can compile and run example projects.

In hindsight, it does not make sense to me to provide any software support directly for the Starter since it is what plugs into it that completes it.

Now Im busy deciphering the elegant (but tangled) code to find where the hardware interface happens.

Thanks, Andrew.

If you found Håkon's answer useful, I'd be happy if you could accept it, so that it is clear to others what actually solved your problem. :)
