I think you have an incomplete installation of NCS. Could you try to uninstall it:

Then install it again after doing the following:

Turn off VPN
Make sure no antivurs programs are blocking the installation, like here, where ncs\v1.4.99-dev1\toolchain\opt\bin\Scripts\west.exe was blocked.
Install it outside your corporate network

Here are some tickets that may be helpful:

Hi Simon,

[quote userid="72692" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/75593/nrf5-1-5-0-and-1-5-1-wont-open-sample-projects-1-4-99-did/311605#311605"] So yo're saying you're getting erros when using v1.4.99, but v1.5.0 and v1.5.1 works? Wouldn't a solution be to just use v1.5.x? Or is there a specific reason you want to use v1.4.99?[/quote]

I am trying to use 1.5.1 or 1.5.0, but the .py error occurs when I attempt to open the projects. 1.4.99 allows me to open the projects though they often do not build for the nRF5340. Most of the sample projects fail to build in 1.4.99 for me often due to missing reference specific to 5340, which was what led me to move to the newer iterations, where I experienced the .py problem.

That should be more stable than the release candidate.[/quote]

this is due to not being able to open the IDE from the stable release within the toolchain manager as seen here:

once in Segger Embedded Studio the option to use the stable SDK is also unavailable. though i cannot capture the screenshot of that but for reference I mean in this location:

I attempted to follow those steps again this morning, and it produced the same results seen here:

I moved the error to the corner for readability.

Here I have attached the output from the attempt to create it.

RE: nRF5 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 wont open sample projects, 1.4.99 did.

[quote user=""]

when using nRF5 SDK Release 1.4.99 the the projects open some have errors that prevent it from building for the nRF5340,

when I attempted to use nRF5 SDK 1.5.0 or 1.5.1 the sample projects (installed with the sdk using the toolchain manager) no longer open supplying this error.

[/quote]

So yo're saying you're getting erros when using v1.4.99, but v1.5.0 and v1.5.1 works? Wouldn't a solution be to just use v1.5.x? Or is there a specific reason you want to use v1.4.99?

[quote user=""]

I was hoping that the nRF5340 fail to build issues would be alleviated by the newer version of the SDK,

I am on windows 10, newest update. and am using nRF connect v3.6.1

I would like to know what is causing this error so that I may attempt to build the newer versions of the samples

[/quote]

By the log it seems like you're using v1.5.1-rc1 (release candidate 1):

"Creating solution empty_app_core.emProject
-- Application: C:/Users/c/ncs/v1.5.1-rc1/nrf/samples/nrf5340/empty_app_core
-- Zephyr version: 2.4.99 (C:/Users/c/ncs/v1.5.1-"

Is there a reason you're not using v1.5.1? That should be more stable than the release candidate.

However, I was not able to reproduce your error. Could you follow the exact same steps as me?

Open SES

Click on this:

Find the empty app core sample

Choose these settings:
- According to the documentation, the nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp (not ns) should be used, but I tested with the ns baord just to see if I could reproduce it

I got no errors. I also tried to build it from SES, without any errors
