Hi.

Could you just try to run:

pip install nrfutil

Hi AndreasF~

Thanks for the fast reply.

I have already done this with pip install nrfutil.

But it seems just install the nrfutil.exe to the python directory, right?

I want to install nrfutil from source as I need to modify it.

Hi again.

I think the error you have, "Windows error 6", is related to a combination of Windows 10, Click, pyinstaller, and python 2.7.

Can you try to run a 32bit python 2.7? This should fix the issue.

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi AndreasF~

Sorry I did not check for that immidiatly, I had to do other works first.

I have tried as your advice.

But the error still occures with 32bit python 2.7.... same errors...

Any other advices?

Hi.

I have a precompiled .exe file of nrfutil v5.2.0 here: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-nrfutil/releases/tag/v5.2.0

Just download the .exe file and place it in your PATH and it should do the trick.

Best regards,

Andreas
