Unable to start debugging in VS Code when not executed as admin

You might need to talk to your IT department. Modifying the registry is one thing, but if you are not able to read it, that might be the root cause to the issue here.

Standard user installation of JLink didn't fix the issue either.

RE: Unable to start debugging in VS Code when not executed as admin

AleBeBu — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 13:21:57 GMT

admin cmd:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SEGGER\J-Link

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SEGGER\J-Link
    InstallPath    REG_SZ    C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink
    CurrentVersion    REG_DWORD    0x129a9

non-admin cmd:

C:\Users\wn00181912>reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SEGGER\J-Link
FEHLER: Die Registrierungsbearbeitung wurde vom Administrator deaktiviert.

sorry for german, says:

ERROR: Registration processing has been disabled by the administrator.

Another suggestion from our team is to rund the following command in e.g. PowerShell or Command Prompt:

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SEGGER\J-Link

Do this for both admin and non-admin, if possible.

Also, can you try to completely remove JLink from your computer, then reboot and reinstall as standard user?

I was referring to the windows path in the support information, line 154, under environment:

That's what we're here for. Note that you often not alone in having these kind of issues, and that it's good for our team to find a solution for this. Unfortunately, they have not found any solutions yet.

The only work-around at the moment is to run the environment as admin.

What do you mean by

[quote userid="77062" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/85228/unable-to-start-debugging-in-vs-code-when-not-executed-as-admin/355987#355987"]both paths in your outputs show C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe[/quote]

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.

I deinstalled 64bit version and installed 32bit version of JLink. Issue is still there.

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

RE: Unable to start debugging in VS Code when not executed as admin

Øyvind — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 10:11:27 GMT

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?

Yours: C:\Program Files\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe

Mine: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGGER\JLink\JLink.exe

Can you please try to install the 32-bit version of J-Link?

Thanks!

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.

Hei Alebebu,

I've forwarded this to our nRF Connect for Desktop team to evaluate what can be done to improve this.

[quote user="AleBeBu"]Obviously JLink.exe path is added here in tools. How can I edit this setting in VS Code or the corresponding JSON-config-file?[/quote]

Have you checked the permissions of JLink.exe? Does that have local admin rights? (Check under properties of jlink.exe)

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,

Hello Alebebu,

Is this a corporate computer you are using? Can you please run the nRF Connect: Generate support information from the Command Pallette of VS Code, and provide the output here?

Thanks

Kind regards,
Øyvind
