Hi community,
I was changing the IDE from SES to VS Code and got everything running fine except debugging.
If i execute VS Code as administrator debugging works as supposed.
Starting debugging in VS Code as user will emit the following error message:
Well, J-Link is properly installed and the registry key seems to be properly defined, too:
Since i don't know how VS Code and OS registry work in this case, i cannot detect the error.
Please help me out here!
Thanks in advance, best greets
AleBeBu
Hi Øyvind,
yes, I am working on a corporate computer and have a standard and local admin user for SW installing.

Hi Alebebu,
Have not been able to look into your issue yet, but have not forgotten you. I need some time to discuss with the VS Code team.
Kind regards,
Øyvind
Hei Alebebu,
I've forwarded this to our nRF Connect for Desktop team to evaluate what can be done to improve this.
AleBeBu said:Obviously JLink.exe path is added here in tools. How can I edit this setting in VS Code or the corresponding JSON-config-file?
Have you checked the permissions of JLink.exe? Does that have local admin rights? (Check under properties of jlink.exe)
-Øyvind
Hi Øyvind,
I checked the permissions right now. Properties for user execution were already given. Just to be sure i added complete access for users. Didn't change the problem with debugging in VS Code.
-Alebebu
Thanks for clarifying permissions.
Our team thinks that it could be an issue with what version of J-Link is installed. I.e. it could be 32bit vs 64bit?

Note that both paths in your outputs show C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe, but the administrator enabled version has C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe
What do you mean by
both paths in your outputs show C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe
?
I could't find this paths in the first two outputs i sent you.
I only found C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe in "tools" structure.
