I can't install the tool chain. The thing is telling me to install some thing called chocolatey. I can't install this

[mike leppard]

I can't install the tool chain.

Looks like I have to install something called chocolatey?

I can't install chocolatey. I tried the chocolatey website for help and was baffelled by the complexity and install options for this.

Please send me the toolchain as a file that I can install without the chocolatey thing.

I have the nRF52840dk to evaluate your bluetooth devices, but can't even get past this stage:

If I can't install the toolchain then the kit is useless and will go in the bin.

I will show you, step by step how to do it:

• Go to the search bar (press windows button)
• Type in "windows powershell"
• It will show up. Then right-click on it and click on "Run as administrator". 

• Click on yes and the shell will open:

• If you run choco, you can see that it's not installed:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> choco
choco : The term 'choco' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check
the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

+ choco

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (choco:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

• Run Get-ExecutionPolicy:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-ExecutionPolicy
RemoteSigned

In this case, I did not get "Restricted" in return, but if you do, please tell me and I will look into it.

• Run: Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by
a policy defined at a more specific scope.  Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective
execution policy of RemoteSigned. Type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" to view your execution policy settings. For more
information please see "Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy".

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your help. 

I do get "Restrictred" message,

Please help, regards mike

[Simon]

Try running one of these commands before running Get-ExecutionPolicy:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

Then continue with all the steps shown below.

If that doesn't solve your problems, please tell me.

I am sorry for the struggles, but I will help you getting this to work and will not give up until you've made it.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon, thanks for your help.

Still unable to get past the cholacaty stage?

[Simon]

Try this:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Instead of:

• Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Notice the difference, you didn't include the "https://"

Best regards,

Simon
