nRF Toolchain Manager - Installs only C:\ncs\toolchains and leaves C:\ncs\v2.2.0 empty

[IulianI]

Hi,

  I followed steps here https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/getting_started/assistant.html so I have installed Segger jlink and NRF Connect for Desktop + command line tools; then from Toolchain Manager I installed v.2.2.0 in advised path C:\ncs. It showed successful install but the folder C:\ncs\v2.2.0 has been left empty so when I select it in NCS Visual Code it gives invalid directory.

  I tried uninstalling/removing all files and environment variables/registy entries and do it from scratch a few times but no success.

  Please kindly advise if you had a similar problem.

Kind Regards,
Iulian

Hi,

In  the toolchain manager, try to "update" the nRF Connect SDK version that you have installed.
Does this help?

Hi Sigurd,
   After I press "Update SDK" it shows 3 seconds the loading bar then it shows as completed successfully: but folder C:\ncs\v2.2.0 is still completely empty

Kind Regards,

Hi,

The download may get cancelled by too long delays.

A common issue is VPNs that cause delays. If possible, I suggest temporarily disabling your VPN and try again.

Can you also try to "show hidden files" and check if there is a ".west" folder inside the v2.2.0?

Hi Sigurd,
  Did not work with VPN disabled and after "show hidden files" there is no .west folder inside C:\ncs\v2.2.0

  I wish to mention that in downloads folder is just toolchain archive:

  

  I followed the tutorial advised: downloaded manually the sdk https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/releases/tag/v2.2.0 and placed as advised in toolchain folder inside v2.2.0 but when I ran "ncsmgr init" in bash I got "bash: ncsmgr: command not found"
  The content of ncsmgr:
