nrf connect cannot find module pc-nrfconnect-shared

[estbndlt]

We have been using nrf connect installers 3.3.0 and now 3.7.0. We have recently seen issues with new users encountering this error when installing 3.7.0. Are there any solutions to this right now? 

This is installed on a windows 10 64 bit machine.

Hi Simonr, 

Are you saying you no longer support nrf connect installers 3.3.0 and 3.7.0 (and probably all the older versions)? They are both breaking on a clean install because of this compatibility issue with .nrfconnect-apps grabbing the latest tag at v3.0.0 instead of v2.5.1.

[Simonr]

We don't have a good/easy way of installing older .nrfconnect-apps unfortunately, but if you let me know what version of what apps you'd like to use, and I'll ask our devs to provide the JSON file(s) necessary to manually download the older versions.

Best regards,

Simon

Thanks for the quick turn around on this Simon!

Once downloaded - could you help with pointing me in the right direction?  Where should I put these to replace the current or so it installs the above versions?  I thought I had found where, but didn't work.  Just installed the same versions I don't want.  If you could, this would save me some time.  Thanks

I put the zip folder in one of my responses! Do you see the same thing?

I tried the copy/paste as well.  Had a team member send me their .nrfconnect-apps folder, but didn't work.  I'll check - maybe have a conflict.  And I'll grab your zip file to see.

Did you extract the files and then copy/paste into that location?  That's what I did

Thanks for the help

Yes that's what I did! This may only be working for nrf connect installers 3.3.0 and now 3.7.0 though. Not sure what that folder would be for your version if it's different.
