Unexpected end of JSON Input Error after installing nRFConnect for Desktop

[ibrahim2012]

Hello

I tried to install nRFConnect for Desktop, the latest version When I try to launch Toolchain Manager, I get an error "Unexpected end of JSON Input" error message. I am using windows 10 and also I tried the old version but didn't accept installing it.

Thank you

Hi Priyanka,

Thank you for your reply and kindly note that I have set up it from the official website kindly find here the files available in the attached screenshot. the file you mentioned is a folder containing an empty log.

Thanks,

Could you maybe try creating a json file in the path earlier mentioned, with the same name, with the following contents?

{
	"isFirstInstall": false,
	"currentPane": 0,
	"installDir": "C:\\NCS",
	"showVsCodeDialogDuringInstall": false,
	"hideOlderEnvironments": false
}

This is what is in my file on my computer, but you should replace your path instead in the "installDir".

Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Priyanka,

The NCS didn't appear due to the toolchain wasn't set up due to this issue. and I put the JSON file was data you shared but didn't open toolchain for setup.

Thanks,

I am sorry, but I did not quite understand. In the code, I have the path in C:\\NCS ,but you should replace it with whatever your path is. Could you maybe share your folder location? It should look something like this:

Hi Priyanka,

What I mean is that we need first to solve the issue of the toolchain then we can install NCS components related to the SDK version and toolchain because I didn't pass the first steps to start setting up the NCS.

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response. Could you kindly try to uninstall the nRF Connect for Desktop, command line tools and everything else and try re-installing again from the links provided? I know it's a bit hectic and sorry for the trouble, but if there is some faulty installation that happened, then maybe this could help.

nRF Connect SDK

nRF Command Line Tools

Hi Priyanka,

Thank you for your support I have found a workaround for this issue for now to help people who face this problem by manually Installing Chocolatey.

Thanks,
