I ran into this exact issue when setting up a new workstation with SES (Nordic Edition) V4.52. I noticed that back in SES (Nordic Edition) V4.18, the CMSIS-CORE 4.05 package was used nRF CPU Support Package, but in the newer versions, it is using CMSIS 5 CMSIS-CORE 5.04.

It turns out that if you just also install the old CMSIS-CORE 4.05 package alongside the CMSIS 5 CMSIS-CORE 5.04 package, the problem goes away. Problem solved!

Thank you navigator!!! Worked like a Charm.

In my case, since I am using this also for SDK16, I placed the batch file inside the directory where the emProject is:

This is project_name.bat:

rd "c:\users\YOUR_USER_NAME\nordic\segger embedded studio\v3\packages" /s /q
start project_name.emProject

Enjoy!

Ok, those errors were starting to run me down. Especially since other folks in the office look to me to setup things nicely for them. And it hasn't been pretty with the nag screens...

Here is a workaround for SES 4.42a using Windows 10.
I cooked up a script to clean up the directory mess, then enter into SES 4.42a without any warnings and yes, it still keeps your license.

1. Create the following script and adapt paths as needed.
2. Call it emStudioWorkaround.bat, and put it wherever you like.
3. Add a shortcut to it on your desktop, and change properties so it starts in a minimized window.
4. Lastly, assign an icon to the shortcut.
Browse to emStudio.exe and assign the official Segger icon to your new script.

rd "c:\users\YOUR_USER_NAME\nordic\segger embedded studio\v3\packages" /s /q
c:
cd "c:\YOUR_SES_INSTALL_PATH\arm_segger_embedded_studio_v442a_win_x64_nordic\bin"
start emStudio.exe

Works like a charm for me.
Enjoy!

I think I did it wrong, because it did not work. When I execute SES it creates the Nordic folder again.

I think I'll just wait for the fix 🙂

I haven't tested this but one of our colleague says that removing the Nordic version of SES folder fixes the error

If you deleted the "Nordic" V3 folder, the error does not occur. But then you need to re-license.

We here at devzone channel do not have a privilage to talk about fix versions, but I can say that this is being looked at.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Susheel for the prompt response.

Is there a known workaround, like a special version of segger that will work, or maybe the order of installation?

This is the conflict between the Nordic SES version and the segger installed version. It really does not matter what option you choose there and the project should open normally. It is a bit annoying, but not a blocker for the work I hope. We are trying to address this in the future versions.

I am using 4.42a now, with a totally new VM, in hopes that the problem was solved, but it is still there. I have not tried a windows computer, but @navigator just gave me the answer. I am very surprised that there are not more cases like this, or maybe it just does not hurt enough...

I get the exact same message every time I start SES 4.42a (Nordic Edition). I am using Windows 10, no virtual machine.

Is there any solution to this? Yes it is frustrating to keep acknowledging the warning.

[quote user="antoniordz"]Yes, both clocks (mac pro and windows) have the same configuration for timezone, Central Time (UTC-06:00)[/quote]

Then it seems to be a bug in the package installer in SES.

That sounds strange, atleast I have not heard about this before. Are the timezones on your virtual machine correct?

Even though this is not stopping you in your work, I understand that this can be frustrating.
